1/4 So will #ChinaProtests force Xi JinPing to step down❓ NO‼️ Let me explain 👇
~China is not a democracy. Protests are happening, and it’s being covered. #PerceptionManagment at it’s best‼️ Wow! I don’t remember the last time Chinese govt let anyone COVER such protests. 😃

2/4 Does any one remember the videos which were coming out of China in Nov- Dec 2019, when the world was just 2 months away from COVID PANDEMIC❓ Western media completely ignored them. On Social media such videos got audience, who could not make sense of it.
3/4 China has been going through cycles of PROTESTS. They come in waves and then subside. Will the current protests have any impact❓ Little❗️These videos help Chinese Govt show to the world that they let DO NOT quell dissent aggressively. This is perception management‼️😃
4/4 Remember how #CAA protests wr covered in India and abroad by media houses? So truth lies some where in between these protests and the perception being created. The PROTESTS will create ripples but this may not lead to Xi Jinping’s resignation. China wont change so easily.
Political scientist GENE SHARP in one of his books said- that if a society doesn’t stand up for itself against a dictator then over a period the society will just adapt itself to the dictator, especially if the economy is doing well.
Correction in tweet 3: Do not quell dissent aggressively.
