There is actually a lot of unrest in China, most just never gets reported.

It’s not a new phenomena either, back in their imperial days they had a lot of local rebellions and revolts, and they similarly didn’t even record them unless they surpassed a threshold.

But they have a lot of incidents of villages throwing out their government officials, or hounding them during the party congress, or so I read, although that was around 2011 when I read that incidentally.
