没有证据表明#UrumqiProtest 是民主运动或提倡所有人享有更大的权利。这是一种反射性的行为，因为害怕他们可能会死而要求允许到外面。许多病毒式传播的帖子表明恐惧而不是同情那些死去的人或为什么。
中国社交媒体上有深思熟虑的评论。本帖不批判汉人抗议。它批评的是忽视种族主义治理和社会动态的抽象分析。此外，政治变革可以从螺旋上升的以自我为导向的行动中出现。
李老师的账号分享了精彩的资料。他们这些材料不将其置于意识形态框架中或声称拥有权威知识。他们分享当地朋友的视频并提出问题。许多视频显示汉族抗议者有多大的回旋余地。
我希望在接下来的几天里，记者们能够咨询该市的汉族人、维吾尔族侨民以及在乌鲁木齐市有实地考察经验的专家。了解故事的背景和事实至关重要。

Lots of chatter in group chats in #Shanghai this morning about an anti-gov and anti-zero-Covid protrest that broke out on Shanghai's Urumqi Rd last night following a deadly fire in the capital of #Xinjiang (Urumqi) last week. According to media reports and videos online, protestors shouted "Down with the Chinese Communist Party, down with #XiJinping, free Urumqi!"

Urumchi is not Zhengzhou. I lived there for several years, observing and interviewing around many protests. I want to add some overlooked background to #UrumqiProtest conversation. Many dominant voices on the subject have never been there. 🧵
