🧵A few nuances to understand the Henan County Bank protest:

The protest banners point to Henan Govt and Party Secretary Lou Yangsheng, but they are protesting at PBOC's Zhengzhou branch.
This location choice is very relevant to the case.

The protestors used English banner and used Chinese banners to openly call out the Party Secretary by name, hung Mao's portraits, and chanted for Pres. Xi to investigate Henan Govt.

All these tactics are meant to show it's not against central govt. /3

The greatest risk when attending protests is the government planting undercover state actors in the crowd to incite the police to act. I am lucky it didn’t go this far during the past 2 Bersih rallies but this happened during the Wellington protests.
