    We all know Chinese people, dude, there’s 1.4 billion of them lmao. That doesn’t make you an authority on their opinion and the sample size is negligible to say the least. 95 percent of them, according to Harvard, are happy with the government.

      I never claimed to be an authority, and there’s a reason I mentioned it was my opinion.

      And again, it’s not like there could be selection biases in a Harvard study. That absolutely never happens.

        Jesus dude, just admit that nothing could ever be enough to change your mind.

            Change my mind that the vast majority of Chinese are happy with their government? Why would your articles cause me to do that?

                  Ohh wow, look who has appeared. Mr No reply to the original comment. Wonder what he will add to the conversation.

                  Like usual, it’s nothing of value.

                    Others replied with the evidence you were asking of me, and you blew them off. Were you gonna suddenly read it if it had been me instead of them? I find it unlikely.

        The only biases that Harvard could pull would be AGAINST the interests of the CPC, that’s the point. You wouldn’t accept a Chinese poll because of racism/chauvinism so I provide overwhelming proof even on your terms and the answer is “em, uh, nu uh”.
