I wasn't trying to say they aren't reporting it now. But the news here pretty much cheerleads for the government. So when the Premier and the former head of the central bank[1] are saying this sector is a good potential investment, CCTV News is going to pass that along uncritically to all these middle or upper-middle class people, who tend to have cash to spare and are used to huge returns like in the real estate market.
SCMP has an article about it[2], but they're blocked in the mainland. I looked for the Xinhua article they mentioned but couldn't find it on their English site. I did find this one on Sixth Tone, which is not blocked[3]. It doesn't mention the protests. My guess is you won't see much if any mention of the protests on any mainland news.
