| Here are just a couple of books documenting censorship and public opinion manipulation that happens in US https://archive.org/details/inventingrealit000pare https://archive.org/details/pdfy-NekqfnoWIEuYgdZl >My claim was, in part because it's so hard to get reliable information inside from China given the extreme government censorship; that the opinions from the population about the quality shouldn't be given the normal amount of weight you'd give opinions about the government from a country that has strong protections and freedoms for the press. Then you surely will give weight to western sources, such as Harvard, saying this is the case? Here's a Harvard research center study of long-term public opinion survey showing that Chinese citizens overwhelmingly approve of their government https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/07/long-term-sur... https://en.news-front.info/2020/06/27/studies-have-shown-tha... https://ash.harvard.edu/publications/understanding-ccp-resil... https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Asia-Pacific/2021/0218/Vilif... >If you disagree, and believe they're perfectly informed, can you explain why there's so many articles, information, and evidence showing the CCP attempting to coverup information and events? You seriously need me to explain to you why there ism assive propaganda in US against its peer competitor? The very fact that you can't even spell the name of the party, which is Communist Party of China (CPC) correctly says volumes. It's like if I insisted on calling your country ASU. |
Yes, because you're not convincing anyone you're right. You're convincing people that you're kind of a dick. I have a large body of evidence claiming one thing, and the other side culminates in "just trust me bro". And because you're being such an asshole to both me and other commenters, I find it really hard to trust you, given I don't think you're operating in good faith.

No, it's not because my primary source of information is "western" explicitly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Communist_Party which uses CCP, and because I'm on a predominantly "western" message board. I chose to use the more commonly understood initialism. Do you find ad hominem convincing yourself? Personally I find them either insulting, or distracting, and quite often distractions and red herrings are used to stifle conversations and the sharing of ideas. Which seems to be a theme across most of your comments here, you misunderstand a comment, and then bring up distractions from the topic quite a lot.
