Harvard was forced to admit that "Chinese citizens rate the government as more capable and effective than ever before", with the rates eclipsing any other country.

@yogthos It sucks that if you tell your average Joe this, they will call you every slur in the book.
indeed
It surprises the west that a government is so well liked by its citizens. They don't understand how China is improving everyone's quality of life. Not like in the US, where it only improves the lives of the wealthy.
"As an American, it’s no wonder our citizens are distrustful of CPC. In addition to a lifetime of propaganda, we have never experienced a government with citizens’ interest in mind
Nearly everyone, if not every single person, in America that will read this has never seen our government and politicians do ANYTHING that would advance the lives of its citizens, no matter how small the action might be. When/if anything slightly beneficial is done, cynical ulterior motives are the reason. Advancement of ruling class interests are the overwhelming reason we get anything, i.e. paltry checks during the covid pandemic.
We have never known otherwise. When Americans see the Chinese government implement policies that increase the wellbeing of the population, their minds automatically assume it’s for nefarious reasons. The thought of a government ensuring their citizens are safe, taken care of and prosperous is unheard of.
No matter the party affiliation, or if they’re avowed communists all the way to the far right base of Republican neo-fascists, everyone knows politicians that make up the government are A.) beholden to capital and B.) out for themselves.
Congress is laughably unpopular, if not right out loathed by all of us. When decades of racist propaganda, fabrication and malicious lies are added to the mix, no one can possibly fathom leadership being altruistic."
Arguably, this is part of cultural DNA of the united states, which forebears arrived to escape authoritarian persecution, and whose Constitution assumes the state is there to deprive the rights from citizens, which must be protected from the state via laws, rather than believing that a state can also work to specifically enact and protect those rights, that without a state there ARE no rights.
Hard to sell China as undemocratic while USA has 80% unsatisfied with the state of the country (Pew Research poll from April 2023
They may rate it that way, but China is still an authoritarian cencorious government. I'm sure the Uigars wouldn't rate the Chinese government very highly. Not saying the US government is great, but the Chinese government is more worrying.

I think this one comment alone filled a bunch of the lib bingo boxes.
I think "using big words they don't understand to sound smart" was probably one of the squares missing from it tbh. They
lovehave a proclivitic tendancy for doing that.It's funny how you're criticising me with something that the US doesn't do, but China does. Don't make it sound like I'm in support of the US, I wouldn't want to live there. Probably would want to live in Sweden. But I also wouldn't want to live in China, for different reasons. It seems like just because China claims it's 'socialist', you think it must treat its citizens well. I'm all in support of true socialism. But China just uses 'socialism' or communism as a method to oppress, control, monitor and censor its citizens.
Ah yes, the USA might be an abject horror show, but CHINA will always somehow be worse!
Oh, you're a “Sweden is real socialism” kind of person. You posted cringe. Also capitalists and western nonsense are censored. It's time to give up the spiritual opium, bro.
"Uigars" lmao this has to be a parody holy shit
This reads like parody, holy shit. I couldn't do a fake lib comment better no matter how hard I try. Ticks all the goddamn boxes.
We must learn from this to become better shitposters.
You managed like four liberal bingos in three sentences, I am honestly impressed.
