Youtube is banned in China, but it does not mean the Communist Youth League of China could not have a youtube channel.
Last week, the youtube channel of Communist Youth League of China released another new video. In this video, a guy named John Ross keeps bragging about the Chinese system.

Will there be a ideological warefare? who will win?

China doesn't have a whole lot going for it. It is cooking its books, like the USSR did. It manipulated its currency in order to keep its export-driven economy from going belly up, and, in the process has created a huge real-estate bubble. Many Chinese hate the fact that they lack freedom of speech, and cannot vote for competing party candidates. As China frees up its economic system, tending towards capitalism, we are likely to see more and more political moves towards a multiple-party system. This has happened repeatedly throughout history --- especially with the collapse of the USSR being largely the result of a system that tried to become more and more open to free-markets.
