Odd. I remember some of that from the first book but Liu Cixin lives in China and doesn’t seem to suffer for it. He also wrote the source material for Wandering Earth which did very well in Chinese theatres and is pretty pro-China.
I mean the book literally shows a democratic "optimistic" society doesn't work and an authoritarian "pessimistic" one is the only workable outcome, I don't see why the PRC would have anything to object to that.
