I worked with a Chinese lady whose parents were extremely poor, but who herself had been well educated and was successful in a professional job in Western Europe. I asked her, "are you happy with the CCP government?"

She said that people in China simply do not think of it in those terms. Being "happy with the government" struck her as a particularly Western way of framing the question. I pressed her further and asked if she thought that they governed in a way that improved people's lives or made them worse. She said that she thought they improved people's lives, and that a country like China needs a strong government to hold it together, and that the CCP is succeeding in that respect.

I don't know if this is a representative view, but take it for what it is: an account of what a single Chinese lady told a random person on HN.
