You mean like lifting more than 300 millions people out of dire poverty? Chinese in their 40s and 50s rabidly defend their government, because it delivered. I bemoan lack of democracy, Xinjiang repression, pollution and all the rest; but the fact is that the past 30 years have been a success of unseen proportions for China.

And the ones in their 60s remember half their family dying from the famine when they were children, especially the villagers who moved out.
When you live in a country where any negative expression will get you killed, arrested, etc. You quickly only hear the positive voices.

After the Cultural Revolution and after the Four Pests Campaign, there wasn't any other direction to go than up, for those who were still alive, that is.
The Chinese were made poor by the Communist party and only rescued by moving away from the doctrine to something else.
