I do wonder how much this has to do with the one child policy and just too many hopeless, angry men?
The one child policy has been lifted in 2015 allowing 2 children per family. China realized its aging population was disproportionate. Having said that, China culture historically values males over females , so that is another contributing factor for the imbalance, in fact selective abortion for girls only has been made illegal.
I've often said if they want males so much,they should find a way to give half of all males pouches and the ability to produce babies like seahorses..Only male babies (half with pouches) would be birthed of course. If I was a sf writer,I'd do a novel dealing with what would happen in a society where this occurred. The unintended consequences would be quite interesting,to say the least.
Unfortunately these are turning progressively more violent. They start off peacefully and then the second shift takes over. Now it seems the triads are in cahoots with the police, being used as scare mongers to keep people out of the demonstrations. That's a very risky tactic.
