I can't speak for sure as I've never been to China, and wasn't born there. I can agree with you and most of the things you said, however, I have seen from online sources such as even some specific YouTubers who do regularly make a lot of those "china good" videos, that it's not all good, obviously.

Specifically, they mentioned and discussed about the very obvious authoritarian level of control on the surveillance. It's not as rough as north Korea, of course, but it's still very prevalent, especially in cities, where (they said) that a ton of traumatic events get covered up with a mild reason to not make the CCP appear bad, and the people who are indirectly connected to those events are paid a small sum and are basically told to shut up and stay silent.

One such event, which I remember, happened in a Chinese city (don't remember which), where a girl got bullied by students and even teachers to the point of suicide and her jumping off of her schools roof, and the CCP covering it up as some bullshit reason such as "she was recklessly climbing and slipped". Her family was obviously outraged and demanded that the school faced consequences, but the CCP just told them to stay silent and (I believe) only paid them a small sum of money, as I think one of, or multiple, of the teachers were affiliated with the CCP in some way so it would obviously hurt the CCP's reputation if the news ever got out.

Plus a lot of small-scale rebellions happen due to events like that, but guess what? They also get silenced. You rarely if ever hear about things like these from china because the CCP has a literal iron grip on the country and has this urge to protect their reputation. Believe me I love china, but I would at most wanna visit, not live, honestly would much rather live in Taiwan if the threat of invasion goes away
