The survey team found that compared to public opinion patterns in the U.S., in China there was very high satisfaction with the central government. In 2016, the last year the survey was conducted, 95.5 percent of respondents were either “relatively satisfied” or “highly satisfied” with Beijing.
Fast detta är en självklarhet att studien kommer att ge detta resultat. För Kinas media, parti- och statsapparat är uppbyggd för att just för att uppnå det resultatet.
Samtliga välfärds- och samhällstjänster i Kina, tillgodoses av de lokala myndigheterna. Mot dessa medborgarna alltid extremt kritiska.

Compared to the relatively high satisfaction rates with Beijing, respondents held considerably less favorable views toward local government. At the township level, the lowest level of government surveyed, only 11.3 percent of respondents reported that they were “very satisfied.”
Centralregeringen skyller alltid de bristfälliga samhälls- och välfärdstjänsterna på de lägre myndighetsnivåerna.
Mediacensuren och propagandan hjälper centralregeringen, skyddar alltid centralregeringen från all kritik, och skyller de bristfälliga samhälls- och välfärdstjänsterna på de lägre myndighetsnivåerna.
Centralregeringen befinner sig väldigt långt bort från de vanliga människornas liv, vanliga människor saknar möjlighet att bedöma centralregeringens arbete, utöver vad som rapporteras i hårt censurerade propaganda-medier.

For the survey team, there are a number of possible explanations for why Chinese respondents view the central government in Beijing so favorably. According to Saich, a few factors include the proximity of central government from rural citizens, as well as highly positive news proliferated throughout the country.
This result supports the findings of more recent shorter-term surveys in China, and reinforces long-held patterns of citizens reporting local grievances to Beijing in hopes of central government action. “I think citizens often hear that the central government has introduced a raft of new policies, then get frustrated when they don’t always see the results of such policy proclamations, but they think it must be because of malfeasance or foot-dragging by the local government,” said Saich.
Anledningen till att de lokala myndigheterna levererar så bristfällig samhällsservice, som kineserna hatar så innerligt, är en stor skattereform som genomfördes 1994, varigenom de lokala myndigheterna blev av med nästan alla sina skatteinkomster, som istället överfördes till centralregeringen.

Saich contends that the lack of trust in local governments in China is due to the fact that they provide the vast majority of services to the Chinese people. This trust deficit was compounded by the 1994 tax reforms, which garnered a substantially larger share of total national tax revenues for the central government. Local governments, despite being faced with declining revenues, were still on the hook for providing the bulk of public services throughout China.
