MODERATORS
You're so close to tripping over the fact that authoritarian governments can't be trusted to provide honest answers. Who wants to say you're unsatisfied when doing so could get you vanned?
I've given my sources in other comments and they're all western institutions. Your inability to believe them comes not from reasonable skepticism, but from western propaganda giving you cognitive bias against anything positive coming from China.
One of the biggest government contractors in China is the company that conducts polling.
How do you tell the difference between an authoritarian government and a government that is responsive to public sentiment but also happens to be on diplomatically shaky ground with your own leaders?
