      That's because they've been brainwashed by a consistently rising standard of living, they don't have free press like us to tell them how they should really feel about things

        "Sir, their government has brainwashed them by... running the country well enough to consistently raise the standard of living!"

        "Those dastardly Chinese!"

      White people in Apartheid-South Africa believed Apartheid-South Africa was a democracy, too.

                Yes, they did. Until some alphabet agency agent co opt the protest, when it's about inflation and economic crisis. Many Chinese peoples still piss at them till this days, at least learn about the country first before spouting shite

                  Riiiight... the country that the CIA had famously failed to penetrate - right until it became convenient for tankies to pretend they actually did, eh?

            For their peer, they vote for the most competent to run the govt, not some snake oil sales man or senile old man that rely on pr popularity to run the damn country. Look at Nigeria, a drug lord successfully make peoples vote for him and now they're in the brink of war even though peoples don't like it,

              Riiiight... I'm pretty sure Xi Jinping hangs with the over-worked factory people every night and does his share of the sewing.

              Tell me another fairy tale, tankie.

        I have never looked it up but for them it probably was. That isn't the reason people were upset about the situation.

      No one in China is ever asked what they want or what they believe in because the CCP doesn't care. China is ruled by a military dictatorship, and under that form of government the people have 0 rights and 0 say in any government policy

        No one in China is ever asked what they want or what they believe in

        Thousands in China were asked every single year from 2003 to 2016 by Harvard in an intensive study that they've described themselves as "nothing comparable done on this scale, over such a long period of time, and over a large geographic area"

        The conclusion they found is that 95%+ of Chinese citizens are satisfied with the government

        If you tell me Harvard is a Chinese propaganda institution I'll take your word for it though

          Do you care about the Uyghur people China is currently trying to genocide?

          Also The ban was for calling out Chinese racism against black people in Africa, so no, I don't care quite frankly

          It's amazing how you people put on this fake act about caring about racism and bigotry, it's really astonishing

            This is very ironic coming from someone parroting Adrian Zenz's cynical atrocity propaganda.

            currently trying to genocide

            This piqued my interest, since a lot of the Uyghur genocide narrative collapsed years ago to the point that even the journalists that were reporting it began walking it back.

            Taking a look at who is currently reporting on "Uyghur genocide" in 2023, and it's all organisations like Voice of America, Radio Free Asia, United States Institute of Peace - basically (literal) US government propaganda agencies reporting on the US congress proceedings.

        Not even the most devoted ideologue for the US state department would claim something this ludicrous. How do "leftists" arrive at this conclusion?
