A common misperception among Westerners is that ordinary Chinese people have no right to criticize the government. Here is a thread detailing how anyone, including foreigners in China, can lodge complaints with the authorities and get answers. Westerners who think Chinese citizens cannot criticize the government are referred to by Chinese netizens as "cyber pets" because of the fun they derive from such ridiculous remarks. I sometimes shared such remarks on Chinese Weibo, and many people there told me they've used the "12345 hotline" or the "mayor's hotline" to communicate with the government and resolve their problems (see screenshots below). Anyone in China, even foreign tourists, can connect to the local authorities and submit concerns through the "12345 hotline," a public service implemented nationwide for years. The service is available 24/7, and all calls are answered within 15 seconds, with a promise that your concern, query, or complaint will be addressed within seven days. The calls are forwarded to local authorities as needed to resolve the issue. Many different things have been asked of the government, from fixing broken heaters to collecting trash from the street and demanding that businesses pay their employees on time. My mother used the hotline to report about a pit on the road outside our home, and she received a response within a day. After the call was made, the road was fixed promptly. Another channel for the Chinese citizens to contact the local authorities is "领导留言板" (Message Board for Leaders), an online platform where any Chinese citizen can complain about their local governments. Ministers and members of the State Council are also reachable to the public, and they will respond to suggestions and critiques from the general public. In China, most local governments are obligated to respond to complaints made on Message Board for Leaders. On a monthly basis, the website will provide statistics on the amount of cases resolved and the satisfaction rating for each province. It will also include details about the officials nationwide who have resolved the most people's issues. This system encourages governments and provinces to improve their service to the public by fostering healthy competition. liuyan.people.com.cn As of July 2024, 388,055 complaints have been addressed through this channel in 2024. And here's one example: On June 9th, 2024, a citizen of Jilin Province complained to the government that the local library's air conditioner had broken and no one had arrived to repair it. Three days later, the local tourism and culture officials addressed the netizen's concerns, explaining the delay in fixing the AC and confirming that the problem had been remedied. You can even rate the government's performance and response. liuyan.people.com.cn/threads/conten… Democracy like this is what I seek. The nation will not progress if its citizens take pleasure in pelting the government with insults while receiving no actual help and if the government ignores its citizens' plight while promising them a fake "democracy."
