Taking into account the rate of growth China has experienced in the last few decades, in a lot of ways (including standard of living), are you sure Chinese citizens are not behaving intelligently by not making much effort to change a political system that is basically working for most of them?<p>In most of the West we have the luck of being born in democratic countries, we mostly don&#x27;t have to lift a finger or risk anything to defend that. And yet, we increasingly elect dangerous morons like Trump, Le Pen, etc. to positions of power, which doesn&#x27;t say much about our collective political intelligence. In China, defending political changes entails both personal risk and risk to the country itself (placing a country that is working very well economically and increasing its power into a political turmoil with uncertain results). I honestly don&#x27;t think we are in a position to lecture them about this kind of things.
