How do you know what the non Anglo Aussies people think?
Are you also a member of the MI6, or on its payroll?

Most Chinese are mental robots. They were like that before communism and are so under the CCP.

Giving up on themselves is at the core of their culture. Buddhism is about letting yourself be washed away. The CCP, heirs to a German Jewish, non-Chinese ideology (Marxism), exploit the stupefied masses of Chinese giver-uppers on individual excellence.
They love a mass rally in Mao suits, with their little red books and snarling in unison.

Hideous, dangerous, repulsive.

Sorry dear Mr Fed
You are not in a position to talk about democracy because you do not know what democracy is. In fact, in your British colony called Australia, you only have an undemocratically elected head of the British state backed by the hypocrisy of a two-party cartel system.

Too formal English for you. Your persona has been moved to your overseer.

There are clear signs that Chinese young people's views on capital and the market have turned negative, and their support for socialism and communism has increased significantly. For example, on BiliBili, China's main video social media for young people, the content about communism, Marxism, capital and labor in 2020 is the most popular. The data of these videos has increased more than any others. Even in the highly entrepreneurial tech industry, the voices of young people against excessive exploitation are becoming higher and higher, including the exploitation of low-income couriers and high-income technicians and professionals who work too long overtime.
In the previous innovation, the CPC changed its role from a planned economy manager to a ruling alliance based on market economy. Now, by bringing building a fair society into the political goal, the CPC is turning to re affirmation of socialism and redistribution of wealth.
The most striking practical action is to promote poverty eradication with unprecedented efforts throughout the country. This work began in 2012 and accelerated in 2015; It took eight years to help the last 99 million people below the poverty line out of poverty - for the first time in Chinese history. In order to accomplish this hard task, millions of Party members and cadres went to the front line of poverty reduction in remote rural areas and mountainous areas.
At the same time, the government began to make great efforts to restrict monopoly enterprises. The most famous example is that Alibaba's Ant Financial Service was disqualified at the last minute of its upcoming listing. It has become the norm for the government to enforce the anti-monopoly law more strictly. Its goal is to protect the public interest, especially the interests of ordinary people, from the infringement of large platform companies controlled by private capital. In the party's own words, the purpose is to "prevent the disorderly expansion of capital."
This paradigm shift has also brought significant challenges and risks. China's younger generation hopes to solve the problems of inequality, but also hopes to enjoy economic opportunities and continue to improve their living standards. The latter is impossible if the economy cannot develop sustainably. If the state's redistribution measures are not properly guided, they may stifle the entrepreneurial incentive mechanism crucial to growth. The CPC needs to successfully control the trend, make a series of policies avoid falling into populist impulse, and become practical policies conducive to building a fair and efficient society.
Another paradigm shift takes place among Chinese youth, which is how China views the world and its relationship with the world, especially with the West. The trump era shows the Chinese a new America, which is quite different from their impression for decades. Those who looked up to the United States and felt that "today of the United States is China's tomorrow" were caught off guard. In the eyes of the new generation of Chinese people, the governance level of the United States and Europe is low, the problem of inequality is more prominent than that of China, and shows political disability, social polarization and internal hostility.

Compared with previous generations of Chinese people, the post-90s and post-00s have more confidence and patriotism in the country. They naturally responded to the party's call and had more confidence in the Chinese road. Two recent events have reinforced this change.
First, COVID-19 epidemic, China's rapid control of the epidemic, has been in sharp contrast to the repeated waves of waves with other countries. The other is the rising hostility of the west to China.
For a long time, the Chinese people have been accustomed to all kinds of Western criticism of China, whether it is corruption or human rights. In fact, this kind of criticism can often get a certain degree of resonance and even support among the Chinese people, especially the business and intellectual elites.
However, the current wave of demonizing China in western political and media is generally considered too extreme by the Chinese people. The Chinese people believe that these "criticisms" that simply discredit China are only an attempt to curb China's further development.
Especially Chinese young people, they find that the China in western depiction does not accord with the actual situation in their life. So many people have doubts and anger about the West. The vast majority of Chinese people, especially young people, are on the side of Beijing on the two issues most frequently attacked by the west - Xinjiang and Hong Kong. This is why young Chinese netizens often call for a boycott of Western brands and celebrities on the Internet.
In fact, Chinese young people are becoming the strongest supporters of the long-term goal of the CPC, that is, "Taking China's own development path".
According to the latest data from the Edelman Trust Barometer, the Chinese public's satisfaction with government leadership has reached an amazing 90%. A recent survey by the University of California, San Diego, showed that young respondents had the largest increase in government support. In 2019, more than 80% of new CPC members are under the age of 35, and the number is close to 1.9 million. Nearly 80% of college students expressed their willingness to join the CPC.
All this may surprise Western readers. However, since the aspirations of Chinese young people are so highly consistent with the reason for the existence of the party, that is, "beginner's mind", the key point in the future lies in how the CPC, a centennial party, should adapt to the new situation yo serve (and lead) young people.
The CPC needs to guide the energy and ideals of Chinese young people to constructive socialism and avoid falling into excessive populism; Guide healthy patriotism and avoid narrow nationalism. If the CPC can do this, it will meet the material aspirations and spiritual ideals of the new generation of Chinese young people, and therefore continue to be in power for a long time in the future.
Success is certainly not guaranteed, but I won't bet on their failure.

"Australia is in a way a feudal extension from Britain. It never did make the peoples breach with right of nobility and authority. That was done in the US. Influenced by still instituted European Viking settled in America of peoples right to own property and land, and moreover to claim land, as Viking law allowed. The newcomer came to Australia under the crown as convicts that did not claim land and assume the right to defend themselves as led to making of the United States. By this neither were the native people recognized as free people, they were treated like convicts from the very beginning of no rights. All this needs to be corrected or there will civil uprisings, Australia needs a settled constitution of equal rights and of historical respect".
