I wonder if there are tactics being learned by other governments (or future potential rioters!) here about how to deal with ongoing instability caused by rioting. At this scale, these don't happen often, so is there a "meta" being played out by the two sides?

It's not rioting.

Fair enough, what should I be calling it? Genuine question, not sure.

It's a demonstration or a protest.

FWIW, there's an extra layer to language here where China gov't calls them rioters, so by your choice of words you choose sides.
