Can we get the competency with out the whole... Everything else?
Or is our choice between awful and ineffective or awful and effective?
What's the awful everything else? China has consistently some of the highest government satisfaction rates in the world
As a Spaniard, it's hard to conceive 90+% of the population being satisfied with the central government, everyone here hates our government and politicians.
Are you sure you're speaking for Chinese people when you criticize whatever "everything else" you refer to?
"When you have them by the balls, their hearts and minds soon follow"
John Dean
So 1.4 billion Chinese are essentially suffering Stockholm Syndrome from the evil Chinese Government, and their satisfaction rates have nothing to do with the consistently increasing living standards?
It's great being comfortable while your government is committing atrocities. Cozy cozy!
Are you talking about the EU-supported genocide of Palestinians?
You're so close to tripping over the fact that authoritarian governments can't be trusted to provide honest answers. Who wants to say you're unsatisfied when doing so could get you vanned?
One of the biggest government contractors in China is the company that conducts polling.
How do you tell the difference between an authoritarian government and a government that is responsive to public sentiment but also happens to be on diplomatically shaky ground with your own leaders?
I've given my sources in other comments and they're all western institutions. Your inability to believe them comes not from reasonable skepticism, but from western propaganda giving you cognitive bias against anything positive coming from China.
I mean I would be skeptical too of any piece of info that comes from China, but how does that coincide with only 44% of "Township" people being satisfied 10 years ago?
Surveyman: Hello random Chinese friendo, how is life under the glorious CCP?
Random Chinese friend: Can't complain.
Surveyman: China has consistently some of the highest government satisfaction rates in the world
You can question the methodology, I've already given the sources in other replies if you're interested (which links to several different studies, all carried out by western organizations such as University of California or the Pew Research Institute). You're just not really interested, and you will reject the information because your cognitive bias tells you to.
It is what it is. The world is arguably better with them than without
