The risk of significant unrest in China persists following the 2022 White Paper protests driven by continuing poor economic prospects. New protests could drive the government to abandon economic reforms and threaten the president's tenure, exacerbate political centralization of power, or further restrict China's information environment. Since the White Paper protests of November-December 2022 and the Chinese government's subsequent abrupt end to its "zero-COVID" policy of frequent lockdowns and travel restrictions in December 2022, no other Chinese protest movement has been so geographically widespread or as well covered by the Western media. The risk of major protests in China remains significant, as illustrated by recent protests that have grown far larger than White Paper by participant count despite the lack of coverage on them in the West.
