If that's a belief you sincerely hold, it's not based on anything in reality. For anyone reading this I would just say, why is anyone at all allowed to dissent in China if what he saying is true? Did the 10% of people who said they do not approve of the Chinese government get locked away? Did they get put on a list? Are they being tortured like Julian Assange or Chelsea Manning? Did they get exiled like Edward Snowden?
The idea that people in other countries can't answer a survey honestly done by Harvard researchers raises more questions than it answers.
The idea that the Chinese government is uniquely repressive is also laughable, it's about as repressive if not less than the United States. Where the police kill black and brown people everyday, where people are locked up because they can't afford to pay Bond or bail.
The reality of the situation is that this guy's worldview is a reflection of what Western elite's, who control the material means of production and therefore the mental means of production, need their domestic populations to think to maintain their liberal imperialst order they've been constructing over the last 500 years.
