    So apparently the whole protest is about a cover up? I guess I’m just not sure what the end goal for these protests are

      Justice? A kid was allegedly murdered and the crime ignored / covered up. In the right situation, that’s all you need. See George Floyd as an example.

        it wasn’t very well explained from the article, especially since it seemed to hint that a fellow schoolmate might be involved. Never mentioned the cops taking part so I just don’t see why they would bother trying to cover things up

        I don’t understand but I’m not well versed in Chinese societal problems so I’ll leave this to others
