Highlights:
From October through December 2023:
Over 950 dissent events recorded during the fourth quarter of 2023. During the fourth quarter of 2023, CDM logged 952 dissent events, a 30 and 50 percent increase over the previous two quarters, respectively, suggesting an increasing amount of protest in China.
Protests linked to school safety issues. During this reporting period, CDM documented 30 cases of parents and others protesting the deaths of students while at public schools and universities, often spurred by distrust of government investigation of or response to these incidents.
200 cases of religious dissent. CDM has collected 200 total cases of religious adherents practicing or sharing their faith despite restrictions against these activities since June 2022.
Residents protest against waste disposal facilities. In 24 cases across 16 cities, CDM documented demonstrations by residents against the health and environmental impacts of waste facilities. Despite repression of 42 percent of these events, protestors achieved some form of concession in at least three cases.
Per capita repression highest in Shanghai, Tibet, Beijing, and Shaanxi. CDM most frequently recorded repression in Henan and Guangdong, compared to other regions.
