> preferring the stability and prosperity of their own regime
That's a bit of an unwarranted assumption. Even hinting that you have a different preference or questioning the reports of stability and prosperity (even privately among friends on WeChat, which is monitored and censored) can get you invited for a nice cup of tea with the local police.
- bllguo 6y agoReports? They literally are experiencing stability and prosperity. People went from rural villages without electricity to towering megacities in a generation. Honestly I find it rather insulting that you'd rather believe they're all hiding their true preferences than try to see their perspective.
- ptx 6y agoThe point is that we don't know the degree of stability, prosperity and preference for the CCP because any data that contradicts this narrative is suppressed.
