Nowadays, no. The current Chinese culture is not incredibly liberal; they cling to their tradition and to their way of life. However, some might argue that in the late 1940s, this wasn’t true. That’s when the CCP - or Chinese Communist Party - rose to power. That’s information for another question, though, so I’ll leave that be.
Today, China clings to whatever the CCP tells them. In that, they are liberal without knowing it. The CCP will run media that fits whatever their current narrative is. One example of this is what’s happening between current President Xi Jingping and former president Jiang Zemin. Everyone who had connections to Zemin is being put in jail by Jingping. This “power struggle” is covered up in the media with the guise of “subverting state power”. Ouch.
