@doujinflip Bruh, the Chinese people's views have been polled. Not just by Chinese agencies, but by freakin' Harvard University of America (look up Understanding CCP Resilience online). Good luck arguing that American researchers are helping the Chinese govt. to spy on its citizens. And the results? Higher approval ratings than pretty much any western govt. This isn't at all surprising btw - raising nearly 3 times America's entire population out of poverty in a few decades will do that to people. You'll find a similar story in tiny little Brunei, a country even more authoritarian than China but that's also blessed with so much oil wealth that it's able to take care of its people even despite its ruling classes' flamboyance. Hardly any popular rebellion, not so much out of fear but satisfaction. Prosperity matters more to people than libertarian idealism.

@Kabutoes China? Survive? Bruh, what world are you living in? Their products are beating out much of the rest of the world. That isn't just appearances, that's what the data (yes, even non-Chinese data) shows. Funny how you people conveniently assume whatever you don't like can't work.
