This one is complicated... like all issues of this nature.
On a very, very surface level:
- Propaganda game is strong in China. They don't have access to a bajillion sources like we do. If the 'media' there says something is false or not happening, then it must be true. Also, a huge proportion of the population there are uneducated.
- Fear game is also very strong in China. Wanna speak out? Check out what's happening (and what has happened) in Hong Kong. They've tried (also during various points of history). People are afraid. Afraid to lose their lives, livelihoods, families, etc...
None of this is simple.
