      Oh no, how dare you! How could it be even possible? My beloved Western media taught that all Chinese are like Fu Manchu, Russians are orcs and Indians are p*jeets, and I need Marvel Avengers and Captain Amerikkka to save the world!!!

        I cannot hear ONE positive thing about China/Russia without them being associated with evil epithets that belong to Nazis, all of which get debunked from time to time. West loves to practice Brandolini’s Law, and this is demonstrably noted with Twitter tweets’ analysis of the past 10 or so years, where it was noted people who had to debunk disinformation had to spend 6-7x more effort. 90% of global media is NATO/Western media, where CFR, Bilderberg and Murdoch media continue to pump disinformation and Cold War McCarthyist bullshit since World War II ended. Considering most of Hitler’s surviving subordinates escaped to USA, and they went onto become heads of various organisations like EU Commission, NASA et al, one must never trust Anglos atleast for the next few centuries.

        Yeah, absolutely unthinkable that people would trust their government when it does such horrible things like lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, building world class infrastructure, providing people with jobs, housing, education, and healthcare. These things must seem like absolute horrors to a typical westerner.

      A high trust government usually reflected on people’s behaviour and general society. You do not need a poll to say your citizens trust you. Paradoxically, if you get a survey in China asking if you approval/disapprove of the government, they will say approve and if anyone been to China you will know why. Talking about the government in China is a rabbit hole you don’t want to go down on, especially if you are non-Chinese looking expat.

      Polls are meaningless in China, the same attitudes during the Gang of Four (四人帮) still exists today. If Xi was ousted today, the opinion polls will change from 95% approval ratings to calling for his execution.

      We seen this During the later stages of the Cultural Revolution, Chinese citizens continued to exhibit strong support for the Gang of Four and the Cultural Revolution. It is likely that if a poll had been conducted at that time, their approval rating would have been close to 100%.

      However, following the events of the October 1976 coup, the Chinese people once again rejoiced and celebrated coup and death sentence (which was changed to life imprisonment later on) of the Gang of Four. An eminent writer, Guo Moruo (郭沫若), who had previously expressed admiration for Jiang Qing just a few months earlier, found himself criticizing her within the same year.

      This pattern of shifting loyalties and public sentiments was not unique to this period alone. In fact, prior to the rise of the Gang of Four, similar instances occurred involving prominent figures like Lin Biao (林彪) and Liu Shaoqi (刘少奇).

          Considering I lived in Chongqing for 3 years. Lots. However I kept my politics extremely private. From 12 years to now I saw China slowly turning into a black hole information.

            So, what you’re saying is that you lived in China for 3 years and never actually discussed politics with people living there.
