As a counterpoint, my Chinese teacher said the other day that she is worried about the days of the Cultural Revolution returning.

She sees her relatives sharing propaganda pieces on WeChat and showed us a video of her aunt unironically performing the "Loyalty Dance" (as in loyalty to Mao) with her coworkers. They will also get angry at her when she tries to talk about China's worse points.

This might be an age thing though, maybe the younger generations have a different outlook on these things.
