I've heard from many other Chinese people who say the opposite, so I'm gonna go ahead and press X to doubt.
Edit: I also don't really care what someone with enough resources to emigrate has to say. I'm more concerned with ordinary workers, who have a 90%+ approval rating of the CCP.
What do the rural poor in China think of their new billionaire class and their ever increasing wealth gap?
They probably hate it, but are glad that they have the CCP to prevent them from gaining political power as well as economic power.
The CCP are the wealthy people in control. Those are some good mental gymnastics.
Anything's possible when you make shit up
You can ask the 800 million people uplifted from such rural poverty over the span of 40 years
That wasn't the question. Please try to keep up.
Go ahead and ask them. Or is Harvard also SeeSeePee?
Still not even close to answering the question. I do appreciate your point of view.
I agree with everything you posted except I have to also press X to doubt on your claim of 90%+ approval ratings amongst ordinary workers. You can't get 90 percent of people to agree on anything else in the world, except the CCP? It just doesn't compute as a real number for me I guess. But I'd love to be proven wrong.
Here’s an article from the Harvard Gazette talking about the surveys. The approval rating was 95.5% and notably, Harvard did not dispute the accuracy of the findings or have issue with the methodology of the survey.
