And why would I lie about that? Just my own simple observation.
While CCP has its faults and had been absolutely horrible under Mao and his cultural revolution - they grew the country from a wartorn shithole with no basic infrastructure to speak of, fought 100 years straight against every major world power, populated by a bunch of hungry uneducated peasants, into the world's no.2 economy. (You will probably attribute that of Chinese people being industrious, or China steals from the West. Meh whatever) Why would that not win loyalty?
Whether you agree with us nationalists or not, that's your own business. To be honest I find it amusing to see liberals squirm in disbelief when anybody profess approval to the Chinese government. You lot seem to never be able to comprehend politics beyond the realm of "Democracy = good, authoritarian = bad", and will hate China (Under the pretensie that you only hate CCP) with a burning passion regardless of their achievements.
Your reply to me will involve lots of bashing against China's human right records, pollution, corruption, lack of freedom of speech, people migrating, blah blah blah, as if deveoping a shithole into a world power will be all squeaky clean and problem free. I will counter the list by giving you more of those problems from "democratic" countries all around the world, and you will tell me those countries are "not true democracy" or is on transition into paradises in the future, because vote.
You will probably conclude your reply in saying that China will collapse in the next 1-2 decades, because *Insert social problem*. Like the last 1839571239 predictions I have heard in the last 2 decades.
You might then decide to go down the route of attacking me personally of being a CCP agent or a brainwashed drone who will turn on the government and apply for asylum in US when CCP randomly cracks down on me and take away my *FREEEEDOM(R)*. FYI, if this of any interest to you, I am 30 years old, born in Hong Kong and then lived in Australia for 7 years until I went to work in China 2 years ago. I have seen my share of China bashing viewpoints from the "free media" for 27 straight years. They remain repetitive, stale, boring, exaggerated and fake. To be honest, not much better than Chinese state media, just better packaged.
Have I covered everything? I must have repeated this shit for like 15 times now.
Society changes, politics changes, no ideology should remain stationary.
