Guangdong is feeing inspired by Hong Kong The CCP has tried to prevent this, but rebellion has a tendency to spread like fire in South China
You already know about HK. This is my thread on the related & lesser known (censored) movements of South China (2010-2019) https://twitter.com/robin42908400/status/1200261862371164160

In Sept 2011, Wukan (near Meizhou, the Hakka cultural capital) protested against a grab of their traditional lands. They were brutally suppressed (1 dead) but they won the right to hold their own elections in 2012
Following closely and no doubt inspired by Wukan, in December 2011 residents of the nearby town of Haimen staged large-scale protests over plans to expand a coal-fired power plant
On 17 January 2012 about 1,000 villagers from Baiyun district held a rally in front of Guangzhou city's government HQ, angered by land seizures and corruption. The villagers threatened to turn the district into a "second Wukan" if their grievances were not resolved
In July 2013, 10,000 people in Guangzhou gathered in a township to demonstrate against plans to build a refuse incinerator in the national hub for leather-goods manufacturing
In Feb 2012 villagers in Zhejiang province (next to Fujian) said ”they have modeled their tactics after Wukan” when they protested the forced seizure of their lands and the building of a chemical plant
2010 saw major protests in Guangzhou to save the Cantonese language
The CCP wanted to replace Cantonese broadcasts in Guangzhou (where Cantonese originated) with Mandarin. More than 10,000 Cantonese speakers marched to preserve our language.
And HK stood in solidarity

2 years after Umbrella, Wukan rose up again in 2016 after their protest leaders were jailed. Just like how the public leaders of Umbrella were jailed
This brings the South China protest movement full circle. And in 3 years, Hong Kong would ignite again over ELAB

And here we are today. The issues being protested look different, but the fight is the same: defiance against the odds
Hong Kong, you aren’t alone
Hong Kong, you aren’t alone
Oh, and the vid is from Maoming 茂名, near Guangxi.
Maoming rose in 2014 against a proposed petrochemical plant (PX) - 15 died in the clash. More than 200 people protested in GZ, followed by 20 in Shenzhen: they only lasted 10mins before the police came to arrest them

More scenes are leaking out of Maoming 茂名, where villagers face armoured vehicles, riot police, tear gas, beatings, and arrests https://twitter.com/rfa_chinese/status/1200298330095415296?s=21
More horrifying scenes from Maoming 茂名 - the Chinese are fighting police brutality too https://twitter.com/chinahrc/status/1200166860274036736?s=21
You know how to piss off Chinese people? You hurt their children Brainwashing doesn’t work when family is on the line. That destroys any illusions. The CCP thinks they can treat anyone this way, Hong Konger, Uyghur, Tibetan, or Chinese
