As far as I know that their justification for defending China or CCP is that at this monment of the Chinese history, China and CCP made some progress in China economically, socially and politically. Also, there is not an alternative system exist today in China to replace CCP.
We are not defending CCP's dark histories such as great leap forward and culture revolution. We acknowledge that CCP made mistakes and committed crimes.
I don't think that they claim that mainland China's political system is perfect and does not need to change or reform.
I also don't think that they claim that mainland China's political system is better than Taiwan's political system. We are not doing pissing contest here. Please don't confuse the argument.
Many Chinese including myself consider that Taiwan's political change provided a good example for mainland China to study. Taiwan changed from a one party system to a multi-party system. They experienced emotional and turbulent periods. In mainland China, we are even joking that culture revolution was ended in mainland but re-started in Taiwan.
We acknowledge that their system is getting more matured after a decade of practice.
