Nuclear reactors could still be useful in things like the mass production of hydrogen through steam electrolysis or even using fancy stuff like thermochemical reactions.

I know China is planning on building the world’s first nuclear reactor integrated into an industrial area for the production of very hot steam.

All accessible energy originates from the low entropy state during the big bang.

If the investors clasp their hands together and believe then it makes it so.

Okay true.

Chinese citizens BELIEVE they’re democratic and all equal. Not that they actually are.

I agree with that, yeah.

India being listed as a democracy doesn’t help this point. India being above China and New Zealand is wild.

Your belief that China is an authoritarian oppressive regime seems to be unfalsifiable. If approval ratings are high it’s because the people are being silenced and secretly hate their government. If approval is low it’s because they hate their government. If the approval ratings are real then they’ve been brainwashed by nationalism.

Like everything indicates the approval ratings are real, there were studies conducted by Western universities that didn’t have stake in the matter and most Chinese citizens had a positive opinion of the PRC. There’s no way to fake this kind of stuff as well as you’re describing for decades.

There are various reasons for why I can understand Chinese citizens like China. They’re entering the golden age of their economy right now and legitimately have competitive quality of life when compared to Americans. Their country is becoming a superpower and that could be a source of national pride for some Chinese citizens. I think those reasons can explain the results without adding in coercion.

“Overtly negative on anything from the West” lol.
