HongKonger here. I have some friends in China posting similar anti-protest posts on WeChat social media. It's like the news they read has a completely different story than what it's being told in legitimate new sources. The problem of fake news does become very apparent, and I hope people in China can eventually gain awareness or at least start to question the validity of their news sources.

I think those that don't agree, just don't post it. Being scared of the state and their score.

Not sure though.

But since 996, I think most of them are pretty aware what is happening abroad ( sometimes)
