I don't know why anyone ever concludes that any government is doing something out of the goodness of their hearts.
I will say that at least with who I work with we do try to do whats best... it doesn't always work and sometimes there are unintended consequences but we do try to avoid those as much as we can

I don't mean to imply that no one is trying to do the right thing. I know plenty of government workers and some do have legitimately good intentions.
My point is more that there's no reason to give government actions the benefit of the doubt. Even if people of good will were responsible for pushing something, it likely got enacted for non-altruistic reasons. That could be as mundane as placating the public.

Oh yeah esp I would say one that is centralized and authoritative like the CCP is
