I have been there, to several places. I have friends there. I know Chinese outside of China. They are not hard to find.
If you live in a big city, there are Chinese places. Go there and try to talk Chinese politics with anyone there, see what’s the general feeling. Sample that with a random European place and see how more easily you can talk politics with a French or an Italian. Thing is, China sends policemen to check the Chinese abroad behave correctly. Even outside China, they are on their toes.
That’s your homework before you try to explain to people online things about a country you never experienced.
There are nice videos by tourists that show that China is just… a country. Very advanced, great infrastructure, but not what you seem to believe it is.
China is far more advanced than most westerners believe, even though they start updating their views a bit. I also heard Dubai and Tel Aviv are very nice city to live in. Which tells you nothing about the ills of their governments.

that’s a far-right whackjob conspiracy theory perpetuated by the same people who think vaccines cause autism and that the world is run by a shadowy cabal of Jews with a space laser
There are Chinese people here, surely their opinion is more trustworthy than yours. If you’re gonna propagate conspiracy theories at least do the work of sourcing it. Finally, I’ve met Venezuelans who celebrated their own country being bombed, I’ve met Cubans encouraging brutal sanctions against their own people, same with diasporas from every other country that’s not a US neocolony or vassal. Them having roots from a place doesn’t mean they’re necessarily informed. If you meet them in the west then your sample size is people who left and people who were born to people who left. Many diaspora communities are literally connected to far-right dictatorships, militias, counter-revolutionaries and so on and on. But I’m sure your opinion matters more than the opinion of Chinese people living in China, chauvinist.

Go meet Chinese people IRL then. And judge from there.
Sure, when I save enough to visit China in a few years.
Read the comments of the people you pretend to engage with.
Damn, in my days trolls were at least trying.
I know Chinese people in my city, but it’s not the same as talking to people LIVING in China, surely you understand that?
