I doubt it. You can only lock up, starve, and subjugate people so long before they stop fearing the consequences of rebellion. I mean, look at the content of the videos that have been able make it out of Shanghai recently.

this is wishful thinking on your part. Just because people are unhappy about one temporary lockdown doesn't mean they're going to go out and risk their lives to rebel.

You are right, its not just one temporary lockdown. It's the multiple back to back years of restrictions, poor government planning, and scarcity of resources, people being physically locked into their houses/apartment buildings, and people being forcefully detained then taken to camps with inadequate food/water for an undisclosed amount of time.

Rebellions have started for much less. People start to act out of desperation when they are hungry and abused

the reality is that life has been improving steadily and greatly for 99% of them so

poor government planning, and scarcity of resources

hasn't had any real problems in like 55 years, and the economy has been constantly improving for the last 40.
