As you well know, Professor, Chinese citizens of the 90s and millennials no longer accept communist ideology. Their 'straying' from the party line motivates the party's efforts to return them to the fold. These efforts are almost always futile.

Capitalism's materialism is the life force for these young Chinese. China now is similar to the U.S. in the 1950s and 60s. The first car, the first house, the first double wide refrigerator.

Chinese nationalistic fervor is powerful, but it is not ideological.

Western interest in the political thinking of Chinese citizens is curious. Media coverage of neo-marxism among Parisians is non-existent.
