#2Given how China is able to completely hide the protests inside the mainland, I fear for how this is going to end, because they can hide that too.
I mean who really is going to come to their defense, look how everyone immediately abandoned Ukraine.

#3If the authorities sought to disrupt these networks, would it not be possible to jam Bluetooth (and Wi-Fi) signals within a certain area?

It would have collateral effects (disabling all wireless activity in the area of jamming), but it's absolutely possible.

100% possible and at reasonably low cost.

>disabling all wireless activity in the area of jamming
Only on the jammed frequencies. Police radios and such will keep working.

Sanctions don't count. When people are dying sanctions don't count.

No one abandoned Ukraine -- there's still a proxy war brewing there, between NATO and Russia. One might argue that it would be better for Ukraine if it was actually "abandoned".
Between Russian "volunteers" and neo-nazis with EU/NATO support, I predict the ones loosing are "most everyone else".
