Abstract

The article reports that China's college students are more likely to support nationalistic causes. Students see patriotism as best expressed by supporting China's leadership for the progress it has attained in developing China's economy and improving its international reputation. Students rallied against foreign criticism of Beijing's policies in Tibet and they have praised the government's response to the devastating earthquake. Beijing students have also volunteered to provide logistics for the Olympic Games which they view as a national triumph.
