Some misguided people tried to start a counter-revolution but made a slight error of about one billion in their estimate of the support they could muster.

It is indeed a huge disparity.
Was this not surprising for you?
And do you think this reflects well on the national government?

Yes, it surprised me. That level of satisfaction is remarkable, and the researchers seem to have tried the best they could to eliminate biases.
“We tend to forget that for many in China, and in their lived experience of the past four decades, each day was better than the next,” Saich added. “Our surveys show that many in China therefore seem to be much more satisfied with government performance over time, despite rising inequality, corruption, and a range of other pressures that are the result of the reform era.”

I don't have an opinion on whether it "reflects well on the national government": that's an issue for the citizens themselves . They are the ones that know first-hand what the government has or hasn't done for them.
Similarly, the dissatisfaction with local government: the issues in such a huge number of regions are likely to very varied. Even putting local grievances into bite-sized categories, e.g. "corruption", might mask significant differences of what "corruption" actually entails in literally tens of thousands of local regions that are different from each other in many ways.

Thanks for sharing with us the hidden wisdom that authoritarian governments don't exist because if people didn't want them, they would just rebel.
Also evil doesn't exist, because people would just fight it.

Awwww. Did a big bad commie scare you when you were a baby?
Over 90% don't have a problem with the CCP at the national level, so it's moot anyway.

If you want to be insulting, at least try to do it with style.Awwww. Did a big bad commie scare you when you were a baby?
And if you love so much China and their government and despise the West so much, I wonder why you are living in Australia.
Well, maybe because Australia won't jail you because you spit all over its government and culture, while China would. Funny how it works.

Well the economic news out of China is terrible.
The fire news out of Hong Kong is pretty bad
Hundreds trapped after fire in Hong Kong’s World Trade Centre
Hundreds trapped after fire in Hong Kong’s World Trade Centre
Hundreds of people are trapped on the roof of a skyscraper in Hong Kong following a fire according to media reports.
Wednesday’s blaze at the 38-story World Trade Centre in Causeway Bay triggered a large response, with firefighters trying to rescue several using emergency ladders. Dozens of people have already been evacuated.
The South China Morning Post newspaper (SCMP) said more than 300 people were trapped on the building’s rooftop, and at least 12 people – including a woman in her 60s – suffered from smoke inhalation.

Foreign influencers used to whitewash Xinjiang abuses
This report explores how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) uses foreign social media influencers to shape and push messages domestically and internationally about Xinjiang that are aligned with its own preferred narratives.
Our research has found key instances in which Chinese state entities have supported influencers in the creation of social media content in Xinjiang, as well as amplified influencer content that supports pro-CCP narratives. That content broadly seeks to debunk Western media reporting and academic research, refute statements by foreign governments and counter allegations of widespread human rights abuses in Xinjiang. Often, such content is then promoted by party-state media and diplomatic accounts across major international social media networks and in Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) briefings. This trend is particularly notable given the difficulty faced by journalists reporting in Xinjiang.
Our research also examines how the CCP’s use of foreign influencers presents a growing challenge to global social media platforms, and in particular their efforts to identify and label state-affiliated accounts.

One could also say over 80% do have a problem on the level where it matters or where they interact directly.Awwww. Did a big bad commie scare you when you were a baby?
Over 90% don't have a problem with the CCP at the national level, so it's moot anyway.
Besides, in what sense is China even communist?

Get out with that CIA-made image.

Maybe the CCP should take total control of HK's anti-Covid strategy...
Hong Kong has been recording surging COVID-19 infections in recent days, heavily weighing on its
local public health system, regarding which Fan Hung-ling, chairman of the Hong Kong Hospital
Authority, told the Global Times on Wednesday that Hong Kong society acknowledged shortcomings
in dealing with the epidemic ahead of the fifth wave, and the city has to learn from the Chinese
mainland in its dynamic zero-COVID policy in tracking patients, increasing medical resources
like temporary hospitals, and rigorously carrying out quarantine measures.
