    China is still very socially conservative, and most of the top of the party like literally are boomers. I don't think it's all that bad though, the youth tend to be VERY pro LGBT and have pushed inside the party a lot with queer and feminist ideals

      Yeah, China is basically the socialist version of the US in the 60s right now in terms of culture. I don't think they're gonna suddenly get more reactionary anytime soon. Especially because like 60% of the population lives in cities now and that number is only growing.

          I think the really agressive actions of the party against the domestic bourgeoisie has been geared at preventing that. It seems that the party still holds a huge amount of sway and a lot of more progressive/revolutionary youths are seeing it as a tool that they can wield rather than a thing to rebel against.

          They also are aware of what happened in the US and aren't keen to do a repeat of history.

          Difference is that China isn't full of settlers and still has a principled party in power.
