    Edelman is a global communications firm that partners with businesses and organizations to evolve, promote and protect their brands and reputations.​

    Sounds like they don’t care about the truth, only making whatever their clients want to be “presentable”/accepted and how much they get paid for it.

    Clearly the people of China trust their government and since you have yet to provide a source explaining how their government is organized we can only go with my source which clearly indicated that there is direct democracy

    And you’re operating without understanding the historical reasons for it. For the Chinese people the CCP is leagues better than what came before. What came before the CCP was…quite bad. So from their POV and objectively, yes the CCP is pretty decent for the Chinese people as they would sacrifice things like freedom of speech because of the stability the CCP provides.

    But what’s good for them does not automatically translate to good for the world, especially in countries where basic human rights have been somewhat enjoyed to varying degrees

        Well yea, but one of the favored line of arguments is the “The CCP has a 95% approval rating!”, which is probably true, but there’s a good reason for it. And you know I don’t blame the Chinese people one bit, if all I and my parents had known was death and famine and an authoritarian government came in and brought stability and prosperity for the first time in generations, id look the other way on a ton of things too
