China has lashed out at Germany after its foreign minister called Xi Jinping a “dictator” and summoned Berlin’s ambassador for a dressing down, in the latest flaring of tensions with a western democratic power over how the Chinese leader is described overseas.

Did you keep reading to the part about low level satisfaction with local government. And some thoughts on why. It's more complicated than you summarise.

Interesting article nonetheless.

Did you keep reading to the part about low level satisfaction with local government.

I did, did you? Or are you just skimming the introductory article for something "negative" to comment on?

You're painting a pretty disingenuous picture, the satisfaction levels for local government are lower than for the central government but they're still pretty good:

Do you believe that 75% or more of Americans believe their local representatives are "Knowledgeable", "Kind" or that they feel "Satisfied with [the] Eventual Outcome" of their decisions?

It’s more complicated than you summarise.

I didn't summarize anything, I pasted a direct quote from the article you seem to not have read:
