Notes -
I wouldn't describe the CCP as wanting a post racial or liberal future, I don't think even their propaganda says that much less the reality on the ground. The cultural revolution is usually seen as a product of Mao and madness so the current party doesn't have too much of that sheen on it and allows criticism of it (most notably recently the three body problem). The modern party is fairly nationalistic itself and has presided over a revival of Chinese culture so it's hard for a nationalist opposition to get too much steam. If anything I think the biggest point of tension is Mao, rather than Communism being "foreign" but all the Mao iconography is symbolic these days so most people just ignore it but it definitely shows the contradiction of modern China.
