Not only do more Chinese citizens say they live in democracy than American citizens do the same, massive plurality of Chinese citizens believe so and the minority of USAians say the same. The USA is the undemocratic monster.
Do you, or anyone else reading, have a source for that for me to use in future arguments?

Edit: I should find a less shitty source but 1( don't have the time right now and 2) it's a double edged sword as if you find one that doesn't include obligatory china-bashing will be decried as a seeseepee mouthpiece
Appreciate it. And I think it's pretty good actually. It's got some obvious brain worms in it, but I also like to find lib sources because it's the only ones libs accept, and there's a lot of straight up numbers that can't be denied in there.
Harvard's Kennedy School has a study on government approval ratings in China that should be helpful.
Why use it, when you know the response is gonna be about indoctrination/propaganda?
The Harvard one is good because it specifically accounts for that, so your next move can be the dreaded "Researchers have already anticipated and disproven your response."
Then they go into denial and dismiss the whole conversation lol
Yes I'm hostile to bourgeois "democracy"
i mean yeah, duh, what did they think chip warfare was gonna lead to, those damg chinese using sticks and stones because they're too stupid to figure out how to make a decent chip? and once it hits parity and hits the international market it'll be over for the vast majority of every western manufacturer because the only thing that matters over here is price and let me tell you about chinese market competitiveness
the funniest part is the code is all on GitHub and any American company would be free to take this design and sell it without any royalties or restrictions. They even maintain the documentation in English!
