#2 More troublemaking by people who don't live in China. The foreign journalists make all of us foreigners look bad. All they ever want to do is "recite the narrative" with their premade bullshit stories about China. There is no support for overthrowing the government, because China is better off now than it has ever been in its 5,000 year history, and only getting better every day.

#3 Yes, gromky, you've reassured us several times on that point. And yet I keep hearing from Chinese friends that they are not happy at all with the corruption of local officials etc.

One need not intend to overthrow a government in order to protest and pressure for changes.

#4 Lotp. Historically, China only has two states: (i) A strong autocratic central rule; or (ii) anarchy and warlordism. And most educated Chinese are aware of the fact.
