The thing I always wonder is how do Chinese people studying or living long-term in foreign countries react to this. They spend a lot of time exposed to media that aren't as heavily censored anymore, and see a lot of negative news about their home country's state. When they go back home, they surely will have a different point of view for everything.

Of course, it's very difficult to protest and make a change even after you get to view everything past the Great Firewall of China, but there must be a growing amount of Chinese people that know of the propaganda and the lies.
