That seems like a loaded question. To be clear I don't live there and am not speaking for them, but from my perspective, as long as the country is getting more prosperous, people will overlook quite a lot. The same is true in the US, how well the economy does is what matters most in elections.
Considering the strong steady growth [0] they've had, I'm sure people are much more likely to overlook things like censorship if they think it will lead to better lives. And honestly, it may. I'm not promoting their censorship, but look how much better of a job they did handling COVID (after the initial cover up), while on the other hand look at the whole mess that the US had with the election and Capitol riot. The US makes it very easy for China to sell its way of government to its people.
