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.

Morally unconscionable is not in the bugman vocabulary.
