wasn’t the Red Guard also a student movement? it didn’t get deleted, but it’s definitely not looked back upon fondly. tbf most of what I know of it comes from Three Body Problem though, so I could be wrong.
there’s also the Red Army Faction (Baader-Meinhoff gang) in Germany during the '70s which killed some people.
even if somehow these windmills need regular maintenance by Chinese operators, there’s still an easy solution: 1. put all the management endpoints into an isolated network where they can be accessed from a jumpbox; 2. provide access under escort, so German proctors are monitoring the session and can pause it at any time. extremely noncredible!
