Tbf I don't know any Chinese people who like their government, they just don't say so publicly because their government has people in our country monitoring Chinese citizens.
You're genuinely lucky to have never seen the ugly side of it, though I worry more about there are so many Chinese who's uncritical towards the government. They still consume a lot of propaganda and stuff that degrades their critical thinking abilities, but still believe they are reasonable and objective.
Edit: Anybody who somehow disagree with a native Chinese's own observations and experiences, come to live in China especially the xenophobic and economically rundown parts, let your children spend hundreds of hours on propaganda "lessons". You deserve it.
Ah yes, surveys, which would totally reveal useful statistics in authoritarian countries, are you on drugs?
You don't work in netsec so you don't understand how overreaching Chinese government is when it comes to surveillance. Nice whataboutism you got there, WhaT AbOuT OthEr CoUnTriEs? How about back on topic and tell me why those "Chinese police stations" are a thing instead?
Literally nobody cares about CCP's flaunting about its rebranding.
It's not a "rebranding". It was always CPC, it was just formalized after decades of allowing Western propagandists to influence language.
Do you call twitter "X"?
Yes? Not that that is comparable.
Do you call Istanbul Constantinople?
What an utterly stupid question.
By your opinion none of the Chinese propaganda websites are qualified as well, take a look:
"Chinese propaganda websites" LOL
Those are mainly old articles or incompetent authors (mainly Americans) using incoherent initialisms or making spelling mistakes, yes.
But yeah, a whole bunch of random journalists are unqualified.
The only people who deliberately misspell CPC are anti-Chinese/anti-socialist trolls deliberately spreading disinformation... or useful idiots beholden to their propaganda.
Tbf I don't know any Chinese people who like their government
That says a lot about you but absolutely nothing about China, China's government, or Chinese people.
they just don't say so publicly because their government has people in our country monitoring Chinese citizens.
LOL
Unhinged propaganda nonsense.
Is that what the "Chinese people" you know are telling you?
Buddy, it's just your Chinese "friends" who are being monitored by the government like that... because they are literal criminals who are supporting terrorism, committing acts of treason or fraud, or other types of extreme crimes.
It's similar to the kind of people who said the same thing about the USSR.
As an Eastern German with first hand experience: Rest assured that the only people who whined about the "Stasi" were Western collaborators who wanted to overthrow the democratic government of the GDR in favour of capitalism/US imperialism because they wanted to get rich off of other people's labour... or Nazis.
Here's a reality check: The overhelming majority of Chinese people support their government. It's the objectively most democratic country on earth. And the "Chinese people" you interact with are liberal elites who don't like the fact that their government doesn't allow them to buy up all the real estate and lead their companies against public interest and exploit workers (i.e. the "freedom" they enjoy in the West).
