Wait wtf is this an actual reasonable take on the government that is neither super negative nor positive? Am i on the right app?

Indeed. I do acknowledge that the CCP does same majorly wrong stuff, but at least they take care of most of their citizens, as long as they follow the rules. Here in the US we are cruising straight for a North Korea kind of situation.

Meanwhile there are 400+ million people from the dilapidated countryside having to move from city to city to be exploited in slave like conditions with no social or health security nor worker rights while leaving their kids behind to make money in a city where they aren't even allowed to stay because of the hukou system.

But hey, at least the priviliged people born in the right place are being treated well, if you look past the fact that everything you consume is filtered through state censorship and that saying or thinking what the state deems wrong can put you into a tight situation.

Yes. But it’s made about the wrong country. Our virtuous Redditors who spend their days cursing the West find nothing objectionable about China’s Communist Party and its Orwellian repression.

You’re on the right app all right.
