Even the US establishment is not believing these protests will actually go any where.

The statement was in sharp contrast to the repeated condemnations of Iranian authorities for their months long efforts to put down protests against Tehran’s government, and particularly their enforcement of regulations that women must wear a hijab. But administration officials said that the situations were not comparable, and that they had doubts that the protests that played out on the streets of Beijing and Shanghai over the weekend would be sustained, or that the calls for an end to Covid restrictions amounted to a fundamental call for government change. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive deliberations.

Remember this is the New York Times, well known for its Western liberal cheer leading.

Sensationalism aside, I'm sure they'll still claim "victory" when China relaxes its restrictions and attribute it to these protests, indicating that this shows "weakness" on the side of Xi and that it "proves" Chinese people should protest more and overthrow the government.

Never allow facts to get in the way of propaganda.

Beijing simply cannot really. Why do you think Li Qiang from Shanghai could go up the CCP promotion after horribly handled the covid situation? Why China in Q2 has 0.4% GDP growth y.o.y (-2.8% quarterly) just from locking Shanghai? Why Beijing not move Shanghai stock exchange or Tesla Giga Factory to Beijing? It's because Beijing cannot risk losing Shanghai as it is.

The stock exchange remains in shanghai because Shanghai is a financial center. Tesla remains in Shanghai because Shanghai is a car making power house, with CATL building more battery factories, so that all cars made in Shanghai can be exported through the world's largest port which is Shanghai.

According to my cousin, it is 还我清白 (I’m innocent). Apparently they are protesting the news that some PCR testing companies are faking positive cases to make money.

This is not the worst case. The use of forged health codes has become more and more frequent this year.

This is actually a good opportunities to exposed some traitor and foreign agent looking for incite an uprising or causing unrest.

They are overestimate and reveal their card too early. China should start monitoring them and root them out when the time come.
In my opinion, these protests taking place under foreign influence demonstrates that the US is deliberately desperate and playing all the cards it had to try to implant color revolutions in the world, as is the case in Iran, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Russia and now in China.

In the case of China, it is worth mentioning:

The creation of the CMC is recent, 1 year of existence, which should not even have time to reorganize all available means of the most diverse branches of CIA activities around China and centralize them around the CMC. There are many things to do and centralize in the CMC, the set of data, personnel and missions that the CIA must do in China are a complex set, much larger than another Mission Center in other countries not aligned with the US.

For example, North Korea's Mission Center has been in existence since 2017:

Iran's Mission Center also exists since 2017:

The Central Intelligence Agency has established an organization focused exclusively on gathering and analyzing intelligence about Iran, reflecting the Trump administration's decision to make that country a higher priority target for American spies, according to U.S. official.

The Iran Mission Center will bring together analysts, operations personnel and specialists from across the CIA to bring to bear the range of the agency’s capabilities, including covert action. In that respect it is similar to a new Korea Mission Center that the CIA announced last month to address North Korea's efforts to develop long-range nuclear missiles.

This has never worked in Russia because the Russian counterintelligence suite is effective, I don't know about the other countries mentioned, but I also know that China(MSS) is also very effective.
