”what people want"
I think I would equivocate about "what I want", if faced with the prospect of a gulag if I gave the wrong answer.
This is clearly what we see with the opinions of the mainland Chinese.
I have a small number of mainland Chinese expats as clients. All are extremely careful at first about what they say to me, but once they learnt that they can trust be too not develop with they say to me in private to anyone else, their opinion is often quite markedly different.
In fact this is happening in Western society to a currently lesser extent, with people self censoring to avoid social and financial consequences of having an unfashionable view.
