Not the same at all. Most Chinese immigrated outside China in the past two decades or so have pro-China opinions and are becoming more pro-China as they live abroad. Younger generations born after 90s living in China also have more pro-China viewpoints. You'd still hear them critisize the government a lot but what they care about is dramatically different from people in western world. In issues like Hong Kong, it's quite rare to see any mainland Chinese supporting rioters in HK, no matter where they live.
Thanks for your reply, but I have a followup question.

It's clear that Taiwan supports the HK protesters, so I'm wondering what the other regions are really thinking, like Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Tibet, etc. Not what they are publicly saying, but what they are thinking privately. To be clear, I have no idea, that's why I'm asking.
