Hi @gray00 i agree with you in part and think you make a good point about younger generations and the internet. I would point out as @momgrow mentioned the internet is heavily censored in China and to use it in the way most of us do would make us criminals. However could this censorship in part be counter productive to the Chinese states agenda? Reportedly one of the most recently banned sites in China is the game streaming service Twitch.

We all know that there are a lot of enthusiastic young gamer's in China and actions such as this could effect nationalistic sentiment in their youth.
In regards to the elder generations being more nationalist i take a slightly different view. I have a few British/Chinese friends who are 2nd/3rd generation immigrants who tell me their parents/grandparents have taught them they fled China due to poverty and oppression in equal part. I think the amount of Chinese immigrants in the west pays testament to this at least in part. I have a feeling the only strong nationalists in China are the indoctrinated or those who stand to gain from the current regime.
