Ultimately people don't really care as long as the government/society is run smoothly. My UK and Chinese family both have houses/land in Hong Kong and Shanghai and they split their year between the various countries. They are quite indifferent to what the government does, they see everything around them is prospering and that's all they care about. From the few international students from China I've met, they seem to echo the same sentiment.
