From my experience, my Chinese friends and colleagues my not love the CCP, but they do not believe a Western style system of representative government based on popular elections could not work in the PRC. The factionalism of party politics would be both toxic and inefficient. Better to have educated, trained, officially sanctioned bureaucrats make decisions than popularly elected officials.

Along side loyalty to the CCP, you also raised the issue of China's 150 years of humiliation at the hands of aggressive Western powers. I would love to hear your opinion on why the disastrous 100 year decline of the Qing empire and the subsequent history leading to civil wars from the 1920s to 1949 are not the responsibility of the later Qing emperors rather than the British and their allies?
