> Chinese people have much more faith in their govt than Western countries,

but you know why that is right (really hoping you know the difference and where this comes from and its not culture)

the govt helped lift many, many millions out of poverty since opening to the rest of the world?

polls/census/surveys mean absolutely nothing when publicly expressing distrust or criticism of the government carries severe penalties.

especially when the "poverty lift" is basically 600 million Chinese people struggling to make more than $140 USD / month

so you can't really hear anything bad about it when its illegal to say anything bad
