I have expat friends in China. I don’t think there is a perception of oppression amongst the population. If anything China has made some serious gains in the well being of its citizens. I would say the Chinese have different priorities. Calling for a revolution in a country of 1 billion people is asking for a human catastrophe.

A country that willfully removes traces of its history (tianamen(?) square) or references to law that presidents have two term maximums? Your friend sounds oblivious.
