Fuck. Those are some brave desperate people.
There is almost zero chance they can win but god damn they are brave.

The odds of the government admitting fault are about zero, but the odds that the government moves to improve conditions at least somewhat are almost certain. Riots get results in some places like China and France even though they fail today in places like the U.S. and Iran.

I hope you’re right. The CCP is different beast.

I think the problem is that in an autocratic system, you cannot vote for change, so you must get change through other means. In the small scale, riots (as peaceful protest is often not allowed) will be cracked down on, but smart regimes often quietly make some of the changes motivating the rioters to prevent riots from happening again. Almost like voting.
Similarly, if people want regime change, they can’t just vote out their leaders, but have to start revolutions or coups. So autocrats rarely leave office alive
