A quote from the poll...
While accurate numbers are always hard to come by in China, our 2022 Edelman Trust Barometer allows us to follow the trends. Trust among Chinese citizens in their government is a record 91 percent, the highest seen in a decade.
As a person familiar with China's practices, Xie Feng is aware that the government is known to retaliate against people that express discontent with the Communist Party's leadership and yet he cited this poll in a manner that sets himself up for criticism that he was not citing a credible source.
How did Edelman get honest statements for a poll conducted in China about the Communist Party?
