Why do you believe the “democracy perceptions index”? Take a look at their supporters… like Palantir and Microsoft.

    They have no interest in portraying China positively, when a person or source you mistrust publishes something against their best interest it makes it a lot more likely that it’s true (like the CIA saying the USSR was democratic despite being enemies)

    Oh, two corporate entities tightly bound up with American imperialism and who therefore have every incentive to lie in the opposite direction? Like yeah dude, it’s a Harvard study, of course they’re tangled up in US bourgeoisie shit. If it was a Chinese survey you’d be dismissing it for not being a Harvard study

    Let’s be honest, if they supported your position, you would have no issue with them. You’re only dismissing them out of hand because they contradict your assumptions.
