Do you have a source that says that happens in today’s China? I know that Falun Gong is suppressed, but they are literally a CIA-funded group created to undermine the state.

I just spent 5 minutes googling and didn’t find a single source that says Jack Ma was disappeared for re-education. Not even right-wing sources like Business Insider and Forbes.

“Everyone I disagree with is a tankie.”

They probably hate it, but are glad that they have the CCP to prevent them from gaining political power as well as economic power.

It’s crazy that a country with no free speech has tens of thousands of protests every year.

Also, don’t patronize me. It’s rude.

Here’s an article from the Harvard Gazette talking about the surveys. The approval rating was 95.5% and notably, Harvard did not dispute the accuracy of the findings or have issue with the methodology of the survey.

I’ve heard from many other Chinese people who say the opposite, so I’m gonna go ahead and press X to doubt.

Edit: I also don’t really care what someone with enough resources to emigrate has to say. I’m more concerned with ordinary workers, who have a 90%+ approval rating of the CCP.

It’s not nearly as authoritarian as people like to claim. Chinese citizens hold tens of thousands of protests each year against a wide variety of topics, and the government is legally required to respond to them. As a consequence, the Chinese government is orders of magnitude more responsive to local corruption or abuses of power than almost any western country.

I would kill to live in a country like China that optimizes its economy for use value over exchange value.
