I never said it wasn't.
I'm sure it's the most accurate data we have.
I'm just saying that survey data generally, be it about governments, or media streaming habits, aren't all that accurate.

I don't doubt that the Chinese public has an overall more favorable view of their government than the Americans, French, or Brits do of theirs. Those governments have been less effective at improving their peoples lives. Hell even I have a more favorable view of the Chinese government than both of my governments major parties. But that still doesn't mean that everything in China is fantastic. They do have lots of deep rooted problems. Much like most nations and societies.
