I think living in the PRC would be extremely stressful.  While it sounds like the people are making headway towards having their opinions known, there is still a lot to be desired.  I don’t think at this point the people of the PRC can keep the government accountable for their actions.  From the readings it seems like the main way the people get their feelings across is through protests and marches on the political centers.  The way that the people are censored and forced to meet underground just goes to show how suppressed their voice is.  The people have next to no voice unless they assemble in the masses.  I believe the reason for that is the government, obviously, is afraid of real change that might come about as a result of the people having a say in the way things are run.  The only other option I could see for the people would be to set up councils on a large scale between villages.  And I feel like this is already a thing, but these councils need to take the next step and really pressure the government on a large scale for change. There is really no other way for the people to be heard.  They are being shut down by the government on such a scale that any sort of assembly is made impossible.  Back to the censorship, the government is doing what it can to stem the flow of opposition from both foreign and internal sources. What the people really need is a champion to lead them, to assemble them into a mass that the government can’t turn down.  What I’m really talking about here is a overturning of the government.  If the people are as unhappy as they appear to be with the current state of their government, then it is their duty to go about changing it if the government wont change itself.  They need to rise up and go about taking their futures into their own hands.  This is just the beginning of a long change that the Chinese government needs to undergo, but it’s a necessary step.
