Ask anyone from china they will tell you.  They are definitely better off now than 10 year ago.

When come to any debate about citizen trust on Gov between China and US, I love cite this 2020 Harvard report:

The survey team found that compared to public opinion patterns in the U.S., in China there was very high satisfaction with the central government. In 2016, the last year the survey was conducted, 95.5% of respondents were either “relatively satisfied” or “highly satisfied” with Beijing. In contrast to these findings, Gallup reported in January of this year that their latest polling on U.S. citizen satisfaction with the American federal government revealed only 38% of respondents were satisfied with the federal government.
