The situation is more complex than that. The CCP does things that I cannot condone, limiting free speech or selling body parts...but while I was in China I found the people were overwhelmingly supportive of their government. People who grew up in a dirt-floor hut, whose parents and grandparents farmed rice with a water buffalo are now commuting to an office job, talking on cell phones on the Beijing subway system. These people ask me, if voting for your leaders is the most important guarantee that the leaders are on the side of the people, how does it happen that the American Congress has betrayed the American people? Why does the Chinese "totalitarian" government enjoy more popularity among its own people than the American "democratic" government?
