I think in the west, we mostly only hear from the government, and not regular people because they don’t speak English and aren’t on western websites. Regular people probably have a lot of the same concerns we do. Of course, the government wants to increase total productivity and don’t care if it causes an upset for regular people.

Keep in mind, one example of “more productive” to the Chinese is passing AI generated bullshit through as peer reviewed academic articles, like nobody is gonna notice the rat with a dick larger than its own body.
So I’d say people who care about ethics, or academic integrity, or whatever, still have something to worry about. China just doesn’t care.
Amazing of you to pretend that XHS doesn’t exist and people from the west aren’t talking to people in China on regular basis
