Chinese poeple has never been afraid to stand up against a government that they deem unworthy. Look at the history, China had more uprising and wars than almost all other big countries.
But poeple have different views and values when they use to evaluate what's worthy, what's neccessary and what's tolerable government.
Just because you don't approve the government, doesn't mean others don't.
Just because you think the 3 gorge migration is not neccessary doesn't mean other poeple don't think it's neccessary.
Look at America, a couple of years ago, there was a protest and debate about a bunch of poeple living in east cost (new york I think) who were forced to move because the city needed to expand to their living area. And eventually, they made a law to force these poeple to move. And it's to be the benefit of the majority of poeple who lived there.
When government makes decision, they weigh the benefits not just for those few million poeple who had to move, but also a few hundred millions who would finally get much needed electricity, and therefore could possiblely get out of poverty. So if you have to make a decision, a few million VS a few hundred million, what would you do?
Would you A. let a few hundred million poeple suffer for a long time or B. let a few million people suffer for a short time?
All I'm saying is, don't use the value you are used to to judge the value others might posses. As soon as you start doing that, you aren't that different from the government you are so opposed to.
