Would Chinese people tell you they hate their government? Is Chinese authoritarianism a good thing just because the people within China don’t complain?

Most don’t, supported by a Harvard study of all things, not the CPC or Chinese media: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/07/long-term-survey-reveals-chinese-government-satisfaction/

Harvard even discusses their methods of gathering honest information from locals and how they try to ensure people aren’t lying because they’re afraid of retribution. Surely the most famous and prestigious university in the US would have thought of that.
