It doesn't force people to lie, but it does reward lying.
The Chinese government lies constantly, it's all propaganda. There's no consequences for being caught lying in a totalitarian gov. China's system is effective in their development, but is also horrifically repressive. Other countries like South Korea have shown that yes you need a strong centralized government to develop and guide the economy (not least in order to repel outside forces that wish to exploit), but it doesn't have to be tyrannical at the level of China.
We'll have to do a lot more work on this issue Gorgeous but for now I'll just state my position as being that China does no more than is necessary to put down foreign and outside influence than it deems necessary. And in China's case with a billion and a half mouths to feed, more is necessary.
There's no way China can tolerate what's going on in H.K. with US and UK interference to incite rioting and violence. But they are tolerating it for the short term at least.
China is going to be faced with huge challenges to it's sovereignty as it rises to the top. This will call for huge expansion of it's military defenses. The US is determined to translate that to the world as China's military aggression. It's just not so and a large part of the world know it's not so.
When will China make Cuba the elephant in the room, as a counter measure to US military expansionist measures in S.K?
