I'mma be honest, if I was living in a country where it was common knowledge that slandering the government in anyway got you disappeared, I'd rate them highly on any study put in front of me :/
I know I'm going to have comments telling me I don't know what I'm talking about, and that's ok. I've enough friends in China, and from China, who have talked about this kind of thing to understand that this graph could represent the feelings of the people, but likely doesn't.
You don't get "disappeared" for "slandering the government in any way." That's a very western framing of cracking down on capitalists that get out of line and try to undermine the socialist government. You have your anecdotal evidence, I also speak with Chinese citizens, and they more often than not do agree with the graph.
