I don't know what "willing cooperation" has to do with anything. The US government has the willing cooperation of millions and had the willing cooperation of a majority of Americans in the past. That doesn't mean the US government didn't do some of the worst shit ever during the peak of their popularity. It's also not like consent isn't manufactured in China.

If anything, it's my belief in the similarities of the Chinese and US governments that makes me think they would do hateful things with their power. People in China are the same as people here. I don't have a rose tinted view of people here either.
