- jollybean 5y agoEven Chinese are aware or not when they are making progress. Xi's #1 fear is that the economy slows down because he can paper over everything so long as people's lives are improving. The moment that stops he's done. We're not made aware but there are 'protests' of sort all over China all the time. People get pissed off over corruption etc.. People aren't completely dumb, the propaganda only has so much effect. As people see their lives turning down, they know what's what.
- InitialLastName 5y agoI have no doubt that people are able to see what direction their lives are going, but even in the developed world with a notionally free media they can be trivially mislead about who to blame.
- jollybean 5y agoGood point. But if people's lives are being very materially degraded, and there's only 'one guy' then he will be blamed. Even if ironically dear leader may have made the right choices. We have inequality in the West but our lives are not improved or degraded to the very obvious extent that they are in developing places. They have 8% growth rate - that's almost something you can 'feel'.
