There are hundred of riots happening in China every year without even "China watcher" media telling a thing about them.

My own experience was seeing a huge commotion right in the city centre of Guangzhou, a megalopolis bigger than New York, without single mention in the media the next day besides some random youtube uploads.

Do you know what the commotion was about?

I can co-sign that there are often incidents of civil unrest in China that are not reported in the media. However, from what i can gather, these are not explicitly anti-establishment. Most of them appear to be localized labor disputes or middle class NIMBYs making a fuss about development that inconveniences them.

For reporting on the former, you can check out China Labour Bulletin[0].
