The CCP made the very smart realization that if your going to have a fairly repressive government, then it's in your best interest to make sure your citizens live well...affordable cost of living, nice cities, parks, etc. Keeping the people generally content or even happy allows a fair bit of leeway in what you restrict in other aspects.
