The Chinese government has enormous support from it's citizens according to multiple independent studies done by western nations. It could still be that astroturfing is underway, but there's perpetually plausible deniability because of the nature of the Internet. The CIA and US government in general has used this to their advantage to flood countries with dissenting propaganda, creating destabilization and opportunity for resource theft. Like other weapons, the Internet is showing itself to be unpredictable, and may be used against the aggressors as well as by them. Now we're seeing pressure put on Youtube, Facebook and other large networks to block out dissenting views because the ruling class feel it disrupts their control of power domestically.
