    I wonder how many Chinese are actually communists considering how it’s the most capitalist country in the world and has been so for a long while, being communist just in the name.

      I play Foxhole with a few guys from mainland China, there in Singapore at the moment. It’s kind of a weird mindset, they see it more as they got there wealth from Communism? But now see themselves as capitalists. Basically they say almost no one actually buys into the “CCP” bit more a ignorance is bliss thing. They compare it to the 10% of radical right wingers in states. But they do believe things should be better and generally people are naturally expecting more of there government. I kinda stole the meme from a discord, so im by know means an expert. From what I hear though general vibe I’ve gotten from mainlanders is ignorance is bliss, we want better, ya we know this is bull shit but it’s our country.

      I’ve lived in China for 5 years over 12 years ago.

      I’ve spent time in densely populated cities and rural farms.

      The majority of Chinese people I spoke to did not like the government. They have all had horror stories. Most of them wanted to get out of China.
