The Quicky
China Protests Are Rare But Can They Make Change?
Episode notes
Recently we saw Chinese citizens on the streets of cities and towns across China itself, protesting against the communist government.
Now protests are not uncommon, even in countries where this type of anti-government push back can end with someone behind bars, or worse… but what makes these protests so unique, is the fact that they were even able to coordinate a mass gathering at all.
Today we look into why these protests in China are breaking out now and whether their defiance is the sign of the beginning of the end for their leader.
