From people I've spoken to in China and the impression I get from what I've read about the Chinese censorship, the majority of people are generally ok with letting the government control things and think that that's really for the best. This seems to be changing slightly with the younger generation but it is hard to tell.

I get the impression that overall, the younger generation is more apathetic about politics than the older one.

(Though there is also the relatively recent phenomenon of "angry youths" (fenqing), who rant on forums and such.)
