Good pronunciation, great explanation, though I'd say it's less about appeasing Karens and more about maintaining a level of relationship with the populace that retains control. In economic terms, between government "supply" and populace "demand", CCP is targeting the sociopolitical profit-maximizing point while branding it as a somewhat socially optimal point.
Don't see that "Karen" is the appropriate term for these people, nor is "busybody". They're not pushing against other citizens, they're pushing against infrastructure or government failings. The effort looks admirable from here, and government response to actually address the problems using AI is also for the good.
I was coming here to make this point too, I see a Karen as someone who makes vapid complaints out of personal inconvenience, while Ruler Man and the average reporting citizen are making things better for themselves and everyone around them.
This "appeasing Karens" should be aim of all good governments, right? At least all the potholes, broken pipes and damaged public facilities to be repaired quickly... then slowly escalate to fixing better things in society. Should always start from the basic stuff.
This China probably learn from societies like in Japan, Singapore or Germany, Austria (in the past) where public facilities are always seems to be functioning well, broken - fixed quickly.
