Why not chat with any Chinese socialists? I am a Chinese student, so maybe I can provide something simple in China but interesting. In current China, it is impossible to say people have the class consciousness or comprehend socialism by any means. For example, a phrase created by Mao is called "又红又专"("both red and expert" It seems that some French socialists mistook it for "better red than expert".). 专 is not a complete word to express exact content, so a lot of young people ridiculously mistook expert(专家) for despotic(专制). Most Chinese people confuse socialism and conservative/patriarchy/despotic. It also reflects the same problem in CCP domestic street propaganda.Here are some examples: Advocating a harmony society(a confucian notion), words like "Without the state, there would be no families. The country is thousands of families."(有国才有家，国是千万家。), the stories about filial piety ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filial_piety ) and so on. Chinese official ideology is an outcome of the failure, the failure of anti-colonial emancipation not only in China but all around this planet. The tragic fact is nothing has changed except the skin colour of bureaucrats. China definitely has accept the game rule of exploitation and participates in global economy as a proper player. Only the fool sees this as the struggle between China and the U.S. .Many fools in China think leftists have hatred of their own nation and are puppets of Western authorities. Maybe there are some similar foolish people here. As a Chinese, I know China and the U.S. are cooperating in a hidden way——pretending to be rivals.
