What I mostly got is that the CCP dictates every aspect of its citizens' lives and there is very little upward mobility for the masses.

They suppress all unwanted info and practices and will put you in a gulag or kill you for deviating.

For China's Covid lockdown? They sealed the doors to the apartment buildings.

May I ask you a question? What is the purpose of your thread?

There's no "broad consent of the people". They may not know any better, but they all have the jackboot of Big Gov on their necks.
My head is nowhere near in the sand.

It is a twisted relationship between power and the people but the people consent, and in return power promises to be responsible in their use of power and to do with it what has been agreed, reestablish the glory of the Empire after many years in the wilderness.
