I would say a majority hold a belief system in line with Marxism but you will need to understand that this has been intertwined with cultural and social belief systems.

There are military families, and families with strong roots within the party - kids will be expected to follow the line or are even inspired to do so. More educated family elders will encourage their children to do something that benefits Chinese society as a whole.

There are buildings and signs everywhere that commemorate China's history very much so inclusive of the communist party. Red stars, statues of revolutionaries and the working proletariat.

Short answer - taught about Marxism in schools and it's also tied with history study, practicing Marxist thought through media, people strive join the party because they are influenced to do so through family/media/work/school.

Additional note: Libs and class traitors still exist in China but are more likely to get physically punished and will tend to live overseas if they can and will breed lib children.

Libs and class traitors still exist in China

Sad, but unavoidable in any society. Even the United States, with its carceral state and extensive propaganda system, still has a fair amount of dissenters from the state ideology.

but are more likely to get physically punished

Unfathomably based.
