xi is not “brilliant”(he was very lucky to become PM when he did), and he is losing control.
not just xinjiang, but many provinces of China have been separating themselves from Beijing and trying to declare independence for years.
xi obviously have no control over Taiwan, although they’re trying to brute force the government.
Shanghai is very international and doesn’t want to be associated with Beijing.
Hong Kong obviously doesn’t consider itself as governed by Beijing.
and despite the constant violent dictator tactics, China has persistent protests in every province by brave Chinese citizens standing up and calling out the human rights abuses, the broken economic promises, the countless domestic and foreign political failures of China, the insane quarantine measures taken fruitlessly being a good recent example, the complete collapse of their housing market after the government encouraged everyone to invest all of their life savings in real estate being another.
xi’s “iron fist” is gripping sand, and it is falling through his fingers.
Thats the thing about ruling with an iron fist. It works for a short time, but the ones oppressed are just looking for any reason to create your downfall. And there are a lot of oppressed people right now.
sure, i can even give you the relevant quote from the comment you’re referencing.
“…almost daily protests and resistance actions…”
“…almost daily…” means something happening almost every day.
so if you were eating spaghetti Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, you’d be eating spaghetti every day.
but if you ate spaghetti Monday, Tuesday, skipped Wednesday, and then ate spaghetti Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, you’d be eating spaghetti almost every day.
now replace spaghetti with protests and resistance actions.
“protests” are public demonstrations of resistance against a policy (holding a sign, chanting, sitting on the roadway)
resistance actions don’t necessarily imply a public aspect (graffiti, coordinating a protest, wearing a mask)
for context, this is entirely incorrect.

I mean you say that but Hong Kong got it pretty hard.
HK is still being invaded, and everything I wrote above is still correct.
HK citizens are still resisting, they have almost daily protests and resistance actions; xi is in no way ruling with an iron fist.
he is actively losing his grip.
can you elaborate on “daily protests”? i feel like things are pretty calm now after national security law passed.
