There were several small protests which generated public debate, especially online: Women activists who joined an anti-mining protest were detained for a brief time, the government blocked an attempt to commemorate the 50th anniversary of a military crackdown on the student movement, and a lot of people were outraged by the reported selling of ‘Buddha shoes’ Netizens are reminded not to spread hate messages on social networking sites.

Van haver-hi altres manifestacions petites que van generar debat públic, especialment a les xarxes: dones activistes que van unir-se a una manifestació contra el projecte de mineria van ser detingudes breument, el govern va impedir un intent de commemorar l'aniversari de la repressió militar contra el moviment estudantil, i molta gent es va sentir ofesa per la venda de "sabates de Buda" .
