Citing Radio Free Asia, a CIA-cutout, is pretty absurd. Either way, though, the reason why the people of China support their system and government is because their lived experience has been constant improvement in real, material ways, year over year for many decades in a row. If you know people from China, then you'd know that they spend a ton of time criticizing their government, they just support their system because it genuinely does work at addressing systemic problems.
When you hear that 90%+ support the system, that doesn't mean 90%+ believe nothing is being done wrong. What it means is that the country is headed in the right direction and the government is doing a good job at addressing real, existing problems.
