    Remind me. What happens when you speak ill of the government there? You think that might affect polls?

    Ill freely admit China has many strengths… but it is definitely authoritarian also.

      Polls carried out by Pew Research, University of California and other western institutions. Too communist for you?

      What happens when you speak ill of the government there?

      For the most part nothing, you may argue there’s a degree of censorship on Chinese social media, but if there were political prisoners for having “the wrong opinions” in China we wouldn’t hear the end of it. There’s nothing like Russia’s Navalny in China.
