Do you base that on “feeling it to be true” as well?

I haven’t lied anywhere.

I feel like

This seems to be your go to justification for a lot

You’ve already admitted that your feelings are not based on data or facts. And the fact you still think social credit is real or that “Taiwan” just as a word is condemnation of China certainly confirms that.

I just don’t have the data to confirm this and frankly, I don’t want to. I’ve heard enough to confirm this general feeling.

What you are describing is called “confirmation bias”

I have no data and this is just a feeling.

This is a description of what being propagandised feels like; you have this feeling, but you can’t put your finger on why.

Thirty-six years on, Beijing still has not disclosed the official death toll

They literally have, but I guess it wasn’t high enough for the propagandists at the Australian state media outlet, so I guess they’re just going to lie.
