"less to do with a more repressive state apparatus than with what surveys have shown to be a higher level of popular satisfaction with the political leadership and system" ------ You gotta be kidding.
* Remember the sudden PRC end to its draconian COVID lockdowns without adequate preparation for a wave of infections? That was because white-page and other protests had almost reached an exploding point. * Why don't you review the massive state machinery that removes social media posts, calls in people to the police for a chat about their post, and in so doing keeps many others from even touching on issues the state does not want mentioned? * The state's company union All China Federation of Trade Unions cannot be challenged. In such circumstances, to speak of what surveys show is naivete at best. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
