Do average Chinese people believe western propaganda or are they aware that doing the "liberal democracy" thing the west wants them to would be an unmitigated disaster for them?
Also, how knowledgeable is the average Chinese person on political theory? Do schools teach some of the basic concepts of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism?
Supplemental question: In the west politically ignorant people have a lot of widely believed but incredibly bad takes such as "socialism is when the government does something" and "communism killed 100 trillion people". Do similar brainworms exist in China?
