Quick question for you: If I protest in China against a Chinese policy I don’t agree with, what happens to me?

Quick Answer: You can just google "site:scmp.com (or any other english language chinese news site) protestors"

You could probably find much better data if you googled the chinese word for protestors, but then you'd have to translate the results.

Even when the government wants to shut down protests, such as in HK, it's 100x more gentle than the US is. Think of how many people getting run over by cops we saw in 2020. I didn't see a single child get domed with a pepperball in Hong Kong.

Faaaaascinating

Also, look at all the happy Uyghurs leaving their re-education camps after the Chinese government helped boost their job opportunities. Sounds great.
