Why does Hu Shizhi only criticize the government and never criticize the Chinese people?


Hu Shih said, "The root of China's backwardness lies in inappropriate institutional issues, the policies of rulers that keep the people as fools and weak, causing the common people to remain impoverished for a long time, unable to receive proper education, and exhausted from livelihood. Ultimately, this leads to the people being fundamentally unable to think rationally. The root of China's backwardness is in feudal rulers."
He then said, "If there were good systems that treat the common people as human beings and allow them to receive proper education, the Chinese people would have no problems at all, and China would not fear any enemies."
