There's 1.4 billion Chinese citizens. Do y'all think this is Star Wars and you can just jail tens of millions with nobody noticing or complaining? Terminally unserious.

This is your brain on a lack of class analysis

The only biases that Harvard could pull would be AGAINST the interests of the CPC, that's the point. You wouldn't accept a Chinese poll because of racism/chauvinism so I provide overwhelming proof even on your terms and the answer is "em, uh, nu uh".

All this comment section proves is that if the only thing that changed was that Thompson was a Chinese healthcare CEO called Zhao Qiang and got clapped by the government libs would be calling him a working class hero and a martyr like the fucking NYT.

You're wasting your time, if living in that shit hole and having to pay out the ass whenever their bank, insurance, landlord, ISP, or utility company wants to pad out their margins while their politicians get bribed by them isn't enough to convince them that they're the ones living in a dictatorship, nothing short of total societal collapse will.

Ah, yeah, true democracy is when everyone fucking hates congress, the supreme court, the president, their senator, their cops and their prosecutors, but they have no choice but to accept them.

Y'all get to be sassy on Twitter tho, good for you lmao

We all know Chinese people, dude, there's 1.4 billion of them lmao. That doesn't make you an authority on their opinion and the sample size is negligible to say the least. 95 percent of them, according to Harvard, are happy with the government.

Again, unfalsifiable nonsense, both A and the opposite of A are proof that China bad, no need for evidence.

What's more, why do they have to be critical? What are they missing from their lives? Their government actually works lmao. More than 700 million pulled out of poverty, corrupt officials at all levels get jailed or executed, most young people own their house, everyone has a job and very cheap food and cultural activities, as well as the best public transit in the world and well maintained infrastructure, not to mention billionaires keep their fucking mouths shut unless it is to pay lip service to the people's government.

You know who punishes their citizens, verifiably often and viciously? Say it with me: the USA. The Ferguson protesters were murdered one by one in the following months with no investigation, the occupy wall street organizers were detained by Homeland security, the black panther party was infiltrated and their leaders murdered by police whether openly or covertly, the Gaza protests had students beaten, arrested and tried en masse and the US passes new surveillance and protest crackdown laws every other day it seems.

And, on the opposite side, what good does "being allowed to be critical" do, in and of itself? About 30% of Americans approve of the government at any given time, corrupt officials are openly insider trading, passing laws for bribes that they don't even have to hide, and big business is allowed to KILL YOU FOR PROFIT.

You liberals are delusional, you buy that you live in the best country ever and shit is almost impossible to change for the better and assume the rest of us must have it so much worse, facts be damned.

Because you're not advocating for the FBI approved way of doing leftism probably

The authoritarian Harvard and Pew polls which reported such a number? Lmao yall are so stubbornly committed to chauvinism even if a million Chinese came up to you to tell you you'd be unconvinced. There's literally dozens of western polls which confirm it, it's not up for debate, denying it is as ridiculous as denying the existence of the moon.

Being incredibly adept at mental gymnastics isn't critical thinking. What part of parroting the headlines you get from corporate media says "critical thinking" to you? I feel super bad for my American comrades trying to organize and make things better when half the country is somehow even dumber than this.
