Or they could have been worried about not being seen as nationalistic to their peers and bosses, even if they aren’t that nationalistic themselves. A lot of nationalism in China is derived from social and peer pressure.

Peer pressure from other Chinese still exists especially outside of China, but it is more likely they felt nationalism since they were abroad and it wasn't being forced down their throat everyday. The best way to make kids hate Mao is to force them to take a class on him.
