A lot of Chinese I know might support their government because they are working to further Chinese interests. But I generally don't hear them trying to export their system of government.

You should read more chinese media. There are articles talking about how India and African countries would benefit from Chinese-style government and economic system. This is totally just finger wagging, however.
