    Well just compare China to the States for a second.

    China’s population exceeds 1 billion, where as the USA is closer to 300-400 million.

    Now let’s go back to exactly what you mentioned, enforcement of obedience. This strategy may not be the most ethical but you cannot discredit the fact that it’s been keeping these 1 billion plus citizens in check.

    Now let’s compare that with the USA who only has about 1/4th of China’s population. A lot of states have currently succumbed drastic increase in crime rates and murders. China barely has these kind of events anymore.

    With that said though, both sides have their ups and downs but my main point is that a lot of people don’t even know about the living conditions of Canadians, their own neighbours. This can only mean they are also ignorant of China (outside of propaganda).
