(I ask in good faith) What percent of people do you think are just China campists instead of genuine Marxist Leninists? (lemmygrad.ml)

China campits exist. There are fantastic sources of information about China who are not even remotely Marxist and just support China for whatever reason. I am wondering what percentage of China supporters do you think that applies to?

When I was studying Standard Chinese I was talking to my tutor about the youth organization and he said it's basicall required to be a member to qualify for state assistance. Kind of like a formality like selective service is in the US. So for that org I would guess about 99% of the people are not ardent MLs.

You also bring up a good point that was really matters is if the public support the party and if the party is supporting the people.
