> It's not just that the vast majority of Chinese are quite apathetic about politics (though they definitely are)

What? You have a source on this? Last I checked, people were jumping out of buildings to commit suicide so the gov put nets around the bottom. Things may have gotten better, but they are far from the ideal anyone wants to live in. I think the "apathy" you're referring to is actually "resignation" to the fact that they feel they can't do anything about the problem. Their country is dying off, and all they can do is watch. Miserably sad. :..(

That’s like saying, “the last I checked, Americans were shooting up schools, so there must be something wrong with democracy.”

Personal economic issues aren’t always caused by politics.

Many countries have suicide. What has that to do with suicide victims' opinions of the national government?
