You realize Edelman used altered surveys for China right? Some questions were left and others were changed because otherwise some people wouldn't want to participate.

So yeah, I'd rather live somewhere where I can voice my true opinion on my government without fear.

Continuing on

On a government sponsored tour, officials took us to meet Mamatjan Ahat, a truck driver, who declared he was back to drinking and smoking because he had recanted religion and extremism after a stint at one of Xinjiang’s infamous “training centers”.

“It made me more open-minded,” Ahat told reporters, as officials listened in.

It's really difficult debating you because it seems you're just wilfully ignoring shit.

Don't really need to when you've got facial recognition cameras everywhere. Also guessing they didn't ask the Uyghurs what they think. And regular Chinese folk can't really Google that shit now can they?

Ah edelman, the consultancy bureau who helps countries prop up their image. This shit is about as believable as Qatar getting to host the world cup on merit. Imagine seeing this graph and thinking hmmm all these countries who have authoritarian and oppressive governments must be really good to their citizens, instead of thinking that people who speak out of line get shafted lmao.

It's bought propaganda. It's like being the shitty student in class who pays a hacker to adjust their grades but instead of something a bit believable asks for an A+. Anyways this shit isn't even meant for the outside world, it's just to affirm to their own people that being oppressed is a-OK.
