    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.

      Yeah, from what I’ve heard, China has much more localized government and policies than people in the West think, and local government catches flak from people regularly.
