"A big part of Xi Jinping’s project is to flatten that sine curve of fang (opening) and shou (crackdown) as much as possible. We’ve seen that in the years since 709 that he doesn’t want there to be swings back and forth in the Chinese polity.” @jonczin

“The good thing coming out of it [709] is the strength, the resilience, and the strong feeling for justice . The movement has gone . But the spirit and the experience gained from fighting injustice are still with people for future’s sake.” @Yaqiu

"People are still traumatized by this event. And the crackdown is still ongoing. Now we hear a lot about China on the news, but it’s a lot to do with the economy, EVs, technology, and military. But there’s fewer stories about human rights." @Yaqiu

". observers would agree that the Party is not interested in a rule-of law system where the government is significantly constrained . We are seeing the merger of Party and state. And that operates completely outside of the legal system." @donaldcclarke
