Chinese people aren’t some alien Borg Mind race. They want the same things you want. They’re just normal people dude. You want to know why they like their government? It’s because 90% of them own a home and college tuition is like $2000 a year. CPC efforts to raise living standards have been visibly effective. That’s what people care about.
Also, it’s not accurate to characterize modern Chinese people as “Confucians” to begin with. Certainly not to a “religious” degree, although Confucianism has never been a “religion” in the typical sense anway. Confucius is still discussed in China, sure, but we’re talking about a modern technological state with a modern education system. Chinese people are not awed into servile obedience by religious fervor toward the state. They’re shitposting on social media like you and me.
Chinese citizens consistently describe their government as democratic and view it favorably
And I know what you’re thinking, “Well yeah, but they’re forced to say that, that’s not how they really feel.”
But no, that is how they really feel. Even western outlets have had to reluctantly admit this.

Would you like a read a research paper by westerners that proves you wrong? No?
