Over 80 percent of young people working in private sector who took a survey said they believe every person should actively support their country.

The survey was conducted by People's Tribune, a magazine affiliated with the People's Daily, through online polls from April 25 to 30, involving 5,177 respondents, most of whom are young people working in non-public sector.

The survey shows that most respondents said they're very patriotic and 88.37 percent said every citizen is obliged to know the country's history and culture, while 82.56 percent consider separatism "despicable."

It also shows that over 90 percent of the respondents believe China should uphold the Communist Party of China's leadership and the Party's efforts to strictly govern its members.

According to the survey, 93 percent of the respondents believe China should learn what is useful from capitalism and discard what is not.

The survey also found that the average approval rate for Communism and Marxism remains relatively low at 3.21 and 2.97, respectively, on a 5-point scale.

But they remain divided over giving priority to personal or national interests. About half of them put national interests before personal gain, while the rest either disagreed or were unsure.

The most recognized central government policy is the strict Party supervision, followed by the call to develop in an innovative, coordinated, green and open way shared by all. They also expressed their strong support to the anti-graft campaign.

However, public recognition for the Belt and Road initiative was 3.99 on the 5-point scale. The survey said it may be a result of inconsistent publicity efforts that focus on social elites, senior officials and company executives.

As for the groundbreaking reforms, 39.53 percent said they will be most affected by medical system reform while 39.15 percent chose the housing policy.

"The unequal access to opportunities and justice have become the biggest obstacles for young people," said the survey.
