The extreme emphasis Asian households put on education as one's primary route to advancement within society (a leftover of the legacy of imperial exams & mandarins in not just China, but the entire historical Sinosphere - the system actually lasted longer in Vietnam than it did in China itself, for example) inevitably exposes more Asians to Marxist brainwashing in academia, hence why the younger generations often shift far to the left of their parents.

I've noticed signs that more young Asians nowadays are starting to resist though, largely driven by leftist worship of blacks, thuggery & criminality which is both fundamentally offensive to their sensibilities and is understood to go directly against their own interests (see: affirmative action and the zealous leftard defense thereof). Which is good, naturally. The modern left does indeed take Mao and his Cultural Revolution as a model for what to do, have been doing so since the Maoist factions like the Black Panthers and Weather Underground became ascendant over the Stalinist CPUSA & took over the driver's seat of American leftism post-60s/70s. And what that entails is so vile, so reprehensible even by the standards of historical commie insanity, that I daresay literally any means is justified to stop it from coming to fruition. The more allies you can get in the fight against it, the better.
