It's just evident that you don't actually have that real life experience. This is not what Chinese people say when not under duress. Something like 80% of Chinese people not living in China (read, who aren't forced to support the government) disapprove of the Chinese government. I've lived and worked with Chinese people. They don't say what you say they're saying. I've lived and worked in communist countries. It's not this socialist utopia you make it out to be. So yeah, it's pretty clear you don't have any idea what you're saying. You keep talking about "Experience" when it's obvious you don't have any......I do. So fuck off with your fantastical agenda pushing bullshit.
Rich people who can afford to leave and settle permanently in a foreign land disapprove of Communist home country, shocking!
Were you with the CIA or...?
Thanks for telling me what 80% [citations needed] of all Chinese people (not counting the vast majority of them because they live in China) think. I'm sure they also appreciate being spoken for. Maybe people who like living in China don't see a reason to leave? Seems like a pretty obvious explanation, even if I ignore the statistic being direct from your ass.
Your "real life experience" is a pretty funny idea too, seeing as how you apparently think that all 1.4 billion Chinese people are so effectively controlled that even though they all hate living there they will never let their friends and family know. Seems like a fantasy to me. I could say that about the US "all Americans hate the us and want to leave but they aren't allowed to say so, so they pretend to like it" it would be patently stupid and there would be no evidence of it, so it'd be on par with your claims.
As far as a utopia, no one said that but you, it's just a strawman argument. It is impossible to make an argument that material conditions for people in China are not improving at one of the most rapid rates in the world.
It really just blows your mind that there are real people with real opinions based on their life experiences that don't reflect your biases.
^That's not a retorical question anymore btw.

Go to Sydney Chinatown and ask them what the opinion of China is and 80% will be pro China not against.
Strike up a conversation in Mandarin with a line cook or waitress, any one of the working class.
Having to pretend to dislike China is a defense mechanism, otherwise the cumskins will turn on you like you're a subhuman or a spy because they all have attitudes like you, which I do get reinforces the notion that overseas Chinese dislike China. But hate crimes against Asians are on the rise, so better safe than sorry.
We are not some brainwashed masses at the beck and call of the CPC, liberals like you just don't understand the concept of critical support. You're either 100% behind something or 100% against it.
