>There's no reliable polling on Chinese trust in government.
Lots of long term systematic survey/polling methods from western institutions in last two decades (i.e. pre-Xi) all comport with basic trend that PRC citizens don't trust local gov but trust central gov. One could be cheeky as insinuate Chinese polling more reliable than western polling that has many predictive failures vs CCP polling because CCP still in power and PRC hasn't collapsed but have only gotten institutionally stronger.
>Laughs in Hong Kong.
Laughs in mainland PRC who overwhelmingly wanted to tame HK. 99% of population versus <1%, so obviously respecting the will of the people. Well minor exaggeration, if CCP respected will of the people they would have subdued HK 5 years earlier during Unmbrella. There's always implement lag, no system's perfect.
I'm familiar with protests in PRC, local protests get loud enough, concerns get forwarded to central gov... and where feasbile gets addressed, because central gov actually scared shitless to mass mobilization. Except CCP tends to deliver tangible results not like western short term virtual signalling.
>giving them what they want is only one
...
>pacify the people
Isn't that governance 101, preserve peace and give people what they want?
