I think you should also consider the possibility that the Chinese entrepreneurs are speaking sincerely - while I know many natives (particularly among the white collar workers) here in China who find the gov't obnoxious, I also know many educated, intelligent people who would agree with these statements.<p>And when you consider the statements of Chinese expats about the Chinese government - you have to expect an anti-Chinese government bias (merited by the government or not) in their views. I mean, they left China for a reason. It's a little like asking political exiles from Iran whether they like the Iranian government or not.<p>In short, I don't think it's reasonable to completely toss out the statements of the people who haven't left China  and focus only on the statements of the self-selecting population who have made a concerted effort to leave.
