Western organizations have found that over 90% of the population approve the government, which is shown to be consistent and accurate. This isn't coming from the government, but from western orgs directly asking Chinese people. Further, despite evidence that the government of China isn't lying about public ownership being principle, and the transparent form of democracy we can view, you still don't trust the government's claims either!
I do disagree with what the majority of the west says about a different country that they've mythologized for centuries, yes. That's not dehumanizing the west, it's acknowledging a different class interest. You're disagreeing with what Chinese people say about themselves, and are framing it as them being brainwashed into doing so, incapable of thinking for themselves.
Explain your views, why isn’t China socialist despite public ownership being principle and the working classes controlling the state?
