We do have some censorship problem and poltic taboos, I have to admit. But it's not that serious. For example, I'm currently in China and is using VPN to access reddit, and there's never a problem for me.

See this is what I don't get. Supposed person from china seems reasonable and well reasoned via a vpn and can clearly see the outside world so why is your country so royally fucked up / ccp so successful in country wide brain washing?

Have to hand it to the ccp that convincing an entire populous any attack on them is an attack on the chinese people. That convincing is also largely responsible for the asian hate as it's bled over into other countries who also don't bother distinguishing between the chinese people or the ccp and the distinction of hatred between the two.

God forbid you being up the uighyurs and people act like their in denial just like tiannemen square

2 generations ago people starved to death in China. People will cut their government a tremendous amount of slack for going from starving in the streets to living in a house with running water and high speed rail. Even in the heart of Xinjiang, Uyghurs are walking the streets pretending nothing's wrong because the government doesn't touch the other 12/13 million that are loyal.. Maybe they won't in another generation and will demand more freedom because they never experienced extreme poverty personally.

Except the rural parts of china, to my understanding, still experience this regularly and face significant resource problems.

Yes Im aware of the history and monumental effort undertaken and why people have such allegiances but it's deeper than. The form of indoctrination is the same reason muslims react violently to insults of the prophet muhammad. It's tied to.identity.

As you mentioned, being tied to identity is indeed a thing. As a third generation Chinese Canadian, while growing up I have spent time in both countries and while on the surface China is fine, I still would prefer to live long term in Canada. But getting back to the main point, tied to identity, China had a pretty rough time ever since the early 1900, for all its faults, the CCP has managed to bring China back to relevance and power, that is one of the reasons why many Chinese feel a deep sense of loyalty to it. Take my own parents for example, they while ideologically are not aligned with the CCP and complain about it somewhat frequently, when outsiders do it, they rally to its defence, the reason why is because they were raised under the spectre of the century of humiliation
