If the CCP can make the right decisions, then why not support the CCP? Do you know the key point? Everyone is a CCP member. It has over 100 million official members, and in every field, almost all those with insight are CCP members. Even those who haven't joined the CCP think in the same way. People think the same way. This is due to national education and the shared social and historical context. Therefore, the policies made by the CCP don't seem surprising to ordinary people. "If I were making the decision, I would make the same choice." And frankly, because the CCP can gather the country's best experts to make decisions in a very deliberate manner, even if you dislike their decisions, it's meaningless because the final result will prove you wrong and they right. Why? Because your ability, your knowledge, your insight cannot compare to those of the experts making the decisions. You are equivalent to an ordinary home PC, while the CCP's experts are equivalent to a supercomputer. So, an ordinary person's opposition is almost meaningless. If you truly want to express your opinions on "how to develop a certain aspect of this country," the best way is to first become a top expert in that field. If you do, your opinions will be taken into consideration by the CCP.

China is a Third World country. That's a fact. China has achieved a certain level of development. That's also a fact. The question is, how do you explain this development? The simplest approach is to attribute it to a gift from the West, or some kind of mistake by the West. And to argue that "China could have developed better if the CCP hadn't controlled it." As for the hard work of the Chinese people? A large number of engineers, scientists, and workers have dedicated their entire lives to building China. These people could have had better lives in the West, or anywhere else in the world; they actually endured lower wages and harsher working conditions. And there's no doubt that a significant number of these people are CCP members. Do you accept that the CCP has indeed built, defended, and led China? Do you accept that members of the Chinese Communist Party are just ordinary Chinese people? Is it possible that this political system and ideology are indeed the most suitable path for China's development? What I see is that even the relatively pragmatic ones still say, "I don't deny that China is an authoritarian, dictatorial, police state, a terrible place," followed by "but," and so on. If even the pragmatic segment of Canadians cannot recognize the true situation in China, then no one can. I think this is enough to make Canadians reflect on whether there's something wrong with the Canadian media. Isn't it?

As a Chinese person, I'm here to see how Canadians are reacting to this (actually, I just randomly searched the political forum tags on Bing). Okay, let me share my thoughts. First question: Is there much room for improvement in diplomatic relations between China and Canada? — No. How should we view the Canadian Prime Minister's visit to China? —An attempt to create leverage for Canada in negotiations with the US. Can the results of this visit to China be sustained in the long term? — No, probably a few months, at most six months. Of course, I could say things like, "China isn't actually that bad; what you see is a distorted, demonized image of China, the reality is far less dire." But that's pointless. I'd immediately be labeled a "CCP bot." That's the problem: a significant number of Canadians have incorrect views of China. And these Canadians have extremely strong psychological defense mechanisms to prevent these misconceptions from being corrected. Any attempt to correct these errors is futile. That's why I don't see any solutions. Therefore, regarding the first question, is there much room for improvement in diplomatic relations between China and Canada? No. Because China can only be Canada's enemy.
