The right question to ask is: "Was is wrong to have wasted billions of dollars on foreign aid to China?" (and still wasting).

Now that should answer your first question and we can now dumb this communist propaganda thread in the Dog House. Wuff Wuff!

Admitted, if somebody is so good to be elected for 46 years, it really has to be by "free elections for decades"... Any doubt?

That sound you've just heard was the TD irony meter exploding.

Well, I'll certainly be forthcoming with more 'commie propaganda' when I come across what I consider a decent, thought provoking article. Don't see the point of getting repetitive in this thread (unlike certain of our 'esteemed members'). Some of you guys bear a remarkable resemblance to Maoists, y'know. You should get a room- enjoy a nice 'Struggle session' together.

That's the problem with you. You can't tell the difference between a propaganda piece and a "decent, thought provoking article".

The shit is designed specifically for gullible people like yourself.

All lubed up 'arry? Your soulmates the Maoists are ready and waiting.

Sabang, why didn't you just call it the Chinese propaganda thread? That way we can pop in and amuse ourselves at will, but to suggest that it was ever going to be "thought provoking" is just nonsense and deserves ridicule.

What's the difference? To you the 'View from China', any view, is just propaganda anyway- regardless of it's content. Very Maoist actually.

Let's hear the view of the average person on the street who isn't scared of speaking honestly and giving their opinion about life in China. That shouldn't be too hard to find, should it?

Oh.

Over the past year, international media reports on Chinese politics frequently centred around the oppression of minorities, public surveillance measures, and China’s increasingly aggressive stance on the international stage. Common headline stories included forced labour in Xinjiang, the incremental removal of liberal democratic rights in Hong Kong, and increasingly frequent shows of force in the Taiwan Strait or the South China Sea with what is now the world’s largest navy. The non-democratic regime in Beijing has increased its grip on the Chinese population as technology has improved, making surveillance, censorship, and the notorious social credit system increasingly efficient. However, while in Western democracies such an authoritarian government would be seen as unacceptable, public support for the Chinese government’s autocratic measures remains strong.

Independent surveys and research have confirmed this trend, and so it is imperative to understand why the Chinese government maintains strong support from the populace, with approval ratings commonly well above what Western democracies could only hope to achieve. According to the Edelman Global Trust Barometer of 2020, the Chinese government enjoyed the trust of 90% of its citizens – the highest level in the world. The governments of Germany, the U.S., and the U.K. only received 45%, 39%, and 36% of trust, respectively. Another long-term Harvard study found the approval rating of the Chinese central government at 95%. To understand why the average Chinese citizen is so content with their leadership, one has to recognize the success of its domestic policies in recent decades.

Oh look, now Harvard has gone commie too. Does that answer your question?
You can always peruse the rest of the article, if you want to find some inexplicable reasons why.

FTFY.

Oh, I see- so just like the Crimean secession Referendum, the Syrian Presidential election, and the Venezuelan elections then 'arry.
What a truly great Maoist you are. Never let anything inconvenient like evidence and facts sully your ideological purity, Comrade.

I find it truly astonishing that these surveys find that the people are soooooooooooo happy with the government in a one party state when the consequences of not being happy with the sole electorable party mean that you will probably never ever be able to participate in one of these surveys again.

Weird that, innit?

Any luck in getting the average Joe to speak on camera about their true feelings yet?

Dunno- go ask these folks Comrade.

So, that's a no then.

Thanks KlondOhNo.

I actually do hope there are some Chinese people reading this thread. They must be pissing themselves with laughter.

That's certainly what the rest of us are doing.

It's *exactly* like those, all of which are the product of dictators.

I do believe you're starting to grasp the concept.
