Tonight one of my friends started talking about how she heard tik tok was bad because chinese data bad but before I could open my mouth my wife was straight in with 'nah that's just america stirring up anti chinese sentiment as they feel they are a threat to their global superiority'. So proud. Radicalise yourself and everyone around you.
lol, like this question and any of these answers are neutral. You don't need bullshit push polls to say the Chinese public are generally supportive of the State
yea there are legit studies showing it, no need to come up with bogus shit like this
Wait, a country that doesn't give a shit about democracy and human rights can't credibly present itself as a champion of democracy and human rights???
I hate to be pedantic, but those first two answers are basically the same.
I'm really burned out on China. I don't live in China, I have no place saying how things in China should be arguably. I have no idea what actually goes on in China, and I can't possibly without going there and living there for a decade or so. Also, nobody in China gives a fuck about what I think or do, and they absolutely should not. Why would I spend time and energy on China aside from #resisting US imperial nonsense?
Agreed, which is why it is set aside in the last few words of my post. Very interested in that in particular, along with resisting bullshit about other states.
Edit: Oh, haha. I guess putting a hashtag in front of resisting made it look like I was mocking the idea. I seem to put that '#' character there by habit these days
Dude why is this seen as a dunk, even if US had 100% pure intentions most of the people of the country wouldn't like it
"Is Water wet? -Yes 98.9% -No 0.01% -Not sure 1.09%"
The repeated claims of “Mr Pompeo, our country yearns for freedom” suggest otherwise.
Wish they had A, B, and D as an option. That's how I would feel.
Might get downvoted for this, but is the Global Times a reliable source? All I know of it is what I just looked up on Wikipedia, which doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. I can readily believe that the majority doesn't buy the nonsense about human rights, but 96% seems suspicious, it's rare for a poll to get that high about anything.
I'm just saying, just because we should be skeptical of Western media doesn't mean we should uncritically accept everything that comes out of China. Maybe I'm just being a lib.
96% broadly aligns with what Harvard-based surveys of China find out about its public opinion.
The survey team found that compared to public opinion patterns in the U.S., in China there was very high satisfaction with the central government. In 2016, the last year the survey was conducted, 95.5 percent of respondents were either “relatively satisfied” or “highly satisfied” with Beijing. In contrast to these findings, Gallup reported in January of this year that their latest polling on U.S. citizen satisfaction with the American federal government revealed only 38 percent of respondents were satisfied with the federal government.
I’m gonna throw something out there: maybe having a vast portion of the population discontent isn’t an immutable state of affairs.
