Interesting perspective. Since the authors were outside China, how were they able to solicit the 1,800 online responses? WeChat would work, though several other platforms would prove generally inacessible. I also wonder how many surveys they sent out to obtain the responses received.
They actually used Qualtrics. "We implemented the survey in two waves in China, with the first one completed between 29 October 29 and 3 November 2020 and the second between 25 January and 2 February 2021, through Qualtrics’ online opt-in panel using a quota sampling strategy that targeted pre-specified proportions of gender, age group, and geographic location as benchmarked on the latest census" and then footnoted that "With elevated challenges in conducting survey research on the ground, participant recruitment through online panels has become increasingly popular for research across a wide range of topics in China."
