You have not proven that there are people "fighting back" against the CPC. They have over 90% support from the people. The "Winnie" joke is far more popular in the west, not only because anti-China sentiment is higher in the west but for the reasoning given by others regarding its racist undertones.
And I specifically said I'm not going to. I'm not going to spend energy to research a point just to give y'all the opportunity to reject my sources anyway. I know what to expect from an online discussion and what not and this is an agree to disagree situation. I see now how it can be read as racist which I didn't get before and that's more than I expected from this.
Surely that's more of a reason to research approval rates in China, no? One of the biggest tools of western imperialism is manufacturing the idea that the CPC is an iron dictatorship, and that the people yearn for freedom from them. The fact that the opposite is the case is certainly important, no?
