And I hear over in NK, 100% of people approve of the Kim dynasty.

Weird how great stats they get, gotta get in on their secret.

The CCP's "secret" is consistently materially improving the conditions of 1.4 billion people over decades.

You have to answer the question: why wouldn't the Chinese support their government?

>>>why wouldn't the Chinese support their government?

Trepidation at encouraging/rewarding a state apparatus that is comfortable driving armored vehicles over its own protesting student citizens? It's easy to support a government during periods of success and abundance. How does the government treat its population during periods of hardship and uncertainty? The CCP has already demonstrated its preferred solution: grind the population into hamburger under its power, in order to preserve the position and quality of life of those at the top.

If Tiananmen Square riots are enough reason for Chinese to overthrow their govt, then the Americans should have overthrown their govt 100 times due to LA riots, People's Park massacre, MOVE bombing, etc etc

What? I never said the Chinese people should rebel. Your anti anti China rhetoric is frankly absurd.

I said you cannot voice dissent towards CCP, so saying “x% approve” is utterly meaningless. Similarly, being a CCP member is not like being a member of a democratic party in some other country.

I’m sure you understand that though, you’re just out here pushing against anti CCP sentiment in a thread about a woman who put her career on the line to say that she has been sexually abused by powerful people.

It’s not a good look.
