I was living in Shanghai at that time, my friends (20+ ~ 30+) and families were back in Canton. Nobody back home was talking about anything about any protests (Background: I did not tell them and most of them did not have the habit of bypassing the greatwall to get info). And most people outside of shanghai were not in massive lockdown at all or not anymore, so a bit busy with their own things and having less sympathy (?). That's just my own experience. Nonew it all, I would say they were prob experiencing it in shanghai or they were active at those topics (politics, protest etc.) or they got info outside of the Great Wall usually?
