Tankie ideology treats China/USSR/North Korea the way that MAGA ideology treats trump.

You don’t know who participated in that poll (and neither do I) was it random people on the street or pro party people? With the amount of surveillance in China, I probably would think twice before speaking against the party.
The communist party has the sole power in China, while other parties technically are legal they haven’t got any power higher than city/regional level.
And then there’s the corruption, they have massive problems with that.
And before you go “hurr durr other countries bad” yes other countries do have problems and some may be worse than China, but that doesn’t legitimise Chinas government.

What happens in China if, in a protest, you burn the Chinese flag?

What happens if you protest the genocide in gaza in America? You get deported to a torture dungeon in a third world country.

They lifted 800 million people out of poverty in 40 years and 90% of Chinese adults own their own home. They haven’t dropped a bomb in 50 years. They produce more solar panels in a year than the rest of the world has combined so far.
Yeah. There’s a lot to like.
Also, more data from a “better” source.
