Even many who are supportive tend to say that their government is authoritarian.

    China: very very high, maybe 90%, their material conditions have progressed in leaps and bounds. Most people want a better life for their kids: the government is delivering that = most people are satisfied with the government’s performance

    Cuba: much more mixed, people are suffering economically. Says you, “Oh but that’s the fault of outside influences”… well your particular explanation of the causes will chime with a certain percentage of the population only, there’s lots of angry anti-government people in Cuba, but they may not be a majority, hard to put a number on it

    Vietnam: I have no info on this
