Does lemmy.ml include entirety of China? Because I was only talking about lemmy.ml. Again, you sure you replied to the right comment?

[–] QinShiHuangsShlong@lemmy.ml 1 points 17 hours ago (20 children)

You are defending and agreeing with someone calling China evil and authoritarian capitalist. He is wrong and so are you. No amount of dodging or hiding behind semantics will change the position you chose to defend and that you clearly chose to defend it for chauvinist reasons.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world -2 points 17 hours ago (19 children)

You said I didnt see Chinese people as people, which I never said ever. Are you gonna retract that? Cause you are still wrong.

[–] QinShiHuangsShlong@lemmy.ml 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

No because even if you don't state it openly it's clearly apparent. You clearly hate China, and we're all just brainwashed serfs of the ebil gubberment.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world -1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Ah okay, so the fabrications of your mind and you prejudice against me are relevant and valid point for you to criticize me. The irony of your comment isnt lost on me

[–] QinShiHuangsShlong@lemmy.ml 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

The "fabrications" of you siding with someone calling China evil. China is directed by the people. Reconcile how you don't hate Chinese people for me.

The government does not represent all of a country's people, a country can be evil without its people being evil. Example: the US

Example: the US

LMAO

[–] QinShiHuangsShlong@lemmy.ml 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Over 80% of us support the government. Are we all brainwashed or are we all evil?

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 0 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Who published that statistic?

[–] QinShiHuangsShlong@lemmy.ml 7 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

Edelman

Page 6 US western capitalist firm and plenty of others. Again showing your ass.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world -2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Showing my ass? Western capitalist firm? Are you using google translate?

[–] QinShiHuangsShlong@lemmy.ml 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Edelman is an american capitalist consulting firm no Chinese influence that you're so scared of (chauvinist). Showing your ass as in you are showing how uneducated you are. English obviously isn't my first language again you being a fucking chauvinist loser.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world -3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Its not my first language either. No links to the actual research or methodology and just name calling, well, I'm done with rolling in the mud with you, have a good day

[–] QinShiHuangsShlong@lemmy.ml 7 points 16 hours ago

I directly linked the report? Are you blind as well as an idiotic racist bastard?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Harvard, among many others. Read what's been linked.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world -2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

It wasnt linked. Okay, lets see how the research was conducted "and together with a leading private research and polling company in China" so the questioning wasnt done by havard but this private company that isnt named. It is also only 3000 interviewees, which isnt statistically relevant in a country of over 1 billion people. Even the study found discrepancies between people in the major cities and the country side.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

The goal of this research brief, and of the longitudinal survey that informs it, is to address the question of gov- ernment legitimacy in China using the most objective and quantitative methods currently available. Our sur- vey1 contains data from eight separate waves between 2003 and 2016, and records face-to-face interview responses from more than 31,000 individuals in both urban and rural settings. As such, it represents the lon- gest-running independent effort to track citizen ap- proval with all four levels of the Chinese government across time (ranging from the township, to the county, to the provincial, and finally to the central government).

The sample size was over 10 times what you claimed, and it was absolutely statistically relevant. Here's a neat link on sample sizes, 31,000 is more than plenty. There indeed were discrepancies between the urban and rural, that's because historically rural areas have been slower to develop than urban areas, and now rural areas are made a priority to close the gap.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world -4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

The link you first sent mentioned 3000.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

The study itself says 31,000. Go to the study itself if you want firm understanding. You also lied about not having any information on how it was gathered, it was also linked. Here's the full PDF.

Oof, my bad, thought I saw 300 pages and didn't check before I sent. I'm riled up a bit. Thank you!
