I don’t really see their interest in minorities being harassed, atrocious labour regulation(like a ban of independent unions and a crackdown on labour activism), a minimum wage lower than the US’ and nonexistent environmental policy endangering the population and the global climate.
Real wage (i.e. the wage adjusted for the prices you pay) has gone up 4x in the past 25 years, more than any other country, and social mobility is quite high compared to places like US.
On top of that, 90% of families in the country own their home giving China one of the highest home ownership rates in the world. What’s more is that 80% of these homes are owned outright, without mortgages or any other leans.
When you look at the actual facts, it’s pretty easy to see why vast majority of people support their government.

First, China’s pretty much the only place where poverty is being eliminated in any real sense:

Actual working hours aren’t much more than anywhere else. The average for a migrant worker (most vulnerable to exploitation as they are traveling from the countryside) is 8.8 hours, little under an hour more than a typical working day. Labor strikes are rarely suppressed, and usually get the support of the PRC.
The workplace safety standards of China are better than in the capitalist countries of the West like in Australia who have an higher rate of work related death despite having a GDP per capita 3-5 times higher.
