As I understand it their terrorists use fertilizer bombs because gun confiscation doesn't stop people determined to kill. Welcome to America's future of the Left gets their way on gun control. Somehow I doubt they'll be as gung ho about fertilizer control. Fertilizer bombs don't make very good self defense weapons.
Stuff like this is honestly why I am not super concerned about China winning the game of Civilization. They are putting up a nice, terrifying front, and they are using their paid stooges in the media to push the narrative that they are unstoppable, hoping it will scare people into just giving up so that they dont have to fight. But behind the scenes, the situation is MUCH more shaky, and the odds are much higher that they will go the way of the Soviets rather than them displacing America for the top spot in the world. They have too many irons in the fire, and they cant keep it going much longer, with a population crunch never before seen in human history on top of an economy and financial state even worse than just about any country on the planet.
The problem is they don't need to win. Western nations have been/are continuing to be suberverted so brutally that all china needs to do is not collapse first.
They won't be able to project power if they are in shambles. There is a chance everyone else is in shambles too, but basically the worry for locals in most any area around the world would be their local civil wars and conflicts, not a world bully China.
What I've seen/read about China is that they don't have the best track record when it comes to international conflict. They do however have some of the deadliest internal conflicts in human history.
Given Chinese standards for construction and safety, I would not be the least bit surprised if these really are all accidents.
If this IS the work of a group rebelling against the government, you would expect that group to get a message out to the wider world about their activities and motives. That hasn't happened, so this is most likely a nothingburger.

If I was leading a violent insurgency against a regime with a reputation for cutting corners on basic safety, and had no qualms about the loss of innocent life, false-flag deadly "accidents" would be something I would consider.
To me, the idea is morally unconscionable, but I didn't grow up in Red China.
Not necessarily. The message that plays well with globalists isn't "We just killed these people, look how serious we are." but "Pay no attention to the pile of corpses. We are just plucky underdogs resisting our oppressors." Uighur separatists have committed quite a few terrorist attacks over the decades (including three in the three months leading up to China's crackdown) and the last time they had their own state they exterminated their Christian minority, but you wouldn't know that from listening to the media, politicians or activists talk about them.

No, but ANFO does make nice craters out of ZOG buildings.

Morally unconscionable is not in the bugman vocabulary.

Asia richly needs human dieback. Nature, take your course.
