I would slightly disagree on the first part, I would say that the vast majority of Chinese people are more strongly devoted to their government/economic model than an average person or the average country, but I agree in that most people of China aren’t hardcore communist fanatics like neoliberals sometimes portray them as. Sometimes I think there should be more general support for communism in China, but I also think it could be a blessing in disguise. “Apolitical” people can point out the flaws in all sides, and supporting the status quo in China is a great thing, and the people are very supportive and independent without being a “hive mind”. But that does lend credence to your argument, I suppose.
I also agree that we should save mocking neoliberal’s arguments for after they are thoroughly broken down and disproven.

Ultras don’t have an understanding of dialectics so it makes sense in their head. They unironically think you can push a button and achieve communism.
To play devil’s advocate, maybe the same reason the US claims to be democratic?
