Chinese citizens both think democracy is important at higher rates than the west, and believes their country to be democratic and represent their interests fairly at much higher rates than the west:
Taiwan isn't a threat to the PRC, and neither is Xinjiang nor the Uyghurs living there and elsewhere.
And in this one by the European union they rank themselves lower or equal to western countries. As well as ranking low on things like freedom of speech and separation of power.
Perceived democracy survey by the EU 2025
One survey, be it from the EU or Harvard doesn't really prove anything. If you want to convince people then you should find a meta analysis.
Super interesting survey, thanks for sharing.
