Based on my online/offline interaction with many Mainland Chinese in US/EU born in 80s-00s, those who experienced family eco status going downwards(e.g. parents lose job due to radical policy change, or lose money due to financial implode) may possibly choose to embrace more liberal democratic view during western education; those from economically stable middle class families are more likely to support Chinese Govt view, which are understandably majority of oversea Chinese students. The phenomenon that young HKers, regardless of economic status even young kids of post-97 mainland immigrants, almost unanimously support liberal democratic ideas should probably thanks to pro-democratic narration in their k-12 education. That's said, I agree with this LA Times piece, narration in education (or call it propaganda or brainwash) really matters. Unless there are properly crafted counter message in western education, majority of oversea Chinese students will continue to live in their WeChat walled garden of post truth[1].
