That is actually not entirely true. Many Chinese people still do not see our point-of-view and perspectives. "Brainwash" is probably the closest colloquial term I can think of at the moment, without the science hoo-ha.

The belief that the Chinese government is good and all-powerful is rooted in their society; in other words, they are BROUGHT UP thinking the Chinese government is good, so asking those people if the government is good is moot. It is analogous to why boys like car toys or action-hero figurines or why girls like to play dress-up and barbie dolls in the Western world. It is simply a norm; and like always, not everyone follows the norm (and so you will have dissidents even in China), but a good majority do follow. Not to mention, if you don't like the government, you get in all sorts of trouble, legally or illegally. You just don't hear about them because of China's censoring policies. To get a better perspective, you really have to watch one of the foreign language outlets close to China such as Japanese of Taiwanese News to get a better understanding.
