Spot the difference. Never rely on politicians to tell you what is political/politicized and what is not.
My personal observation: many people, elite and non-elite, think something has gone terribly awry. The primary difference between the two groups is who they blame. Broadly speaking, the elite blame Xi. The nonelite often blame foreign countries - especially the US.
In this sweeping essay, @eosnos tries to capture the nation’s zeitgeist, focusing on tightened controls & life under Xi. I’ve heard similar sentiments in my circles. But I question if they are representative — or coming from a highly selected “elite”. newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…
