I don't know about you, but I would rather live in a country with an authoritarian and oppressive government that takes care of its citizens, instead of an authoritarian and oppressive government that oppresses its citizens to protect landlords and corporations profits like I do now.

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.

Could you expand on that? What was the content of the surveys and what where the difference? And where does he state that?

For the 2023 report, it said, it removed certain questions and answer options for China and Thailand.. It's not possible to say which ones because they don't publish that info.
