  1. I'm sure Ms. Lin is a bright young woman, but I don't think she understands the Chinese people at all. I got the strong feeling she belongs to a dissident family—if that's not the case I apologize for the assumption—and that her opinions were incubated by that personal animosity and nurtured by western blame-oriented anti-China propaganda. The Chinese people are currently enjoying the best lives that they've had since at least the early nineteenth century. Their living standards are the best they've been in history and their status in the world is as high as it's been at any time since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Chinese people have more personal freedom, including including the right to complain, then ever before. And while they don't get to elect their leaders, they can at least respect their leaders, who, contrary to some other obvious examples, can rise up to the occasion during a crisis and keep the country together and moving in the right direction. The people of China are happy with their government because they know that the government values, nurtures, and protects the Chinese people. And those who say they are against the CCP but not against the Chinese people, I say that they do not know the Chinese people.
