Dear John,
Do you know how often protests occur in China? Despite the Chinese Communist Party’s best efforts, dissent in China is more frequent and widespread than you may imagine.
This week, Freedom House’s Kevin Slaton presents data and findings from the China Dissent Monitor (CDM), a new Freedom House research project. Between June and September 2022, CDM documented 668 incidents of protest and other dissent in mainland China, including marches, strikes, and hashtag campaigns.
Despite years of concerted efforts to control and silence their voices, people in China are speaking out collectively and individually in the streets, in their communities, and in cyberspace.
