That's how the CIA operates. A legit protest happens, and then the CIA comes in, starts placing its local people as leaders of the protests and then shifts the protests' message from the issue they were protesting in the beginning to an anti-gov protest and trying to inflame tensions. Sprinkle a massive social media disinfo campaign and you are ready for CIA actionProtest is not a problem, problem is that if it's getting western media exposure & CIA/NED comes to exploit it , it happens due to local people collaborating with westerners or outsiders using obviously vpn or burner phone.
Sounds familiar? Same thing happened with Iran in their recent protests. And same thing the CIA is trying to do now on China.
For this specific situation, I dont see that much of a big CIA push or success except the usual bad child, Shanghai.
