China persecutes 'Marxists'
Doesn't surprise me but it seems even students discussing such ideas in addition to workers organising independently along class lines can expect to be targeted by the Chinese state and it's police, reported here; https://freedomnews.org.uk/chinese-state-persecutes-marxists/

The revolutionary legacy of state capitalism steered by an anti-capitalist proletarian party demanded that its rule be based on correct philosophy and correct (social) science. This is why the régime was more ferocious towards rivals than towards enemies. The mere existence of ‘another Marxism’ for example was intolerable as it robbed the Party of its intellectual foundations, hence its hatred for social democrats, left communists and other heretics. After the defeat of the 1956 Hungarian revolution, the intellectual participants were separated in two groups: those coming from the pre-war right, were decorated, the former communists and socialists thrown in jail. The former could be won over, their sin was venial, but the latter were seen as traitors, misinterpreters of the true doctrine, so their sin was mortal.

There's a discussion, mainly about these 'marxist' students, here: http://dialectical-delinquents.com/articles/class-struggle-histories-2/china-jasic-workers-strike-a-discussion-november-2018/ And there's a lot of detail (too much detail imo) about China here: http://dialectical-delinquents.com/china-2/
