How could I break down this sentence? "My hypothesis will be that Chinese audiences who have received a university education are more likely to resist to political agenda involved in the 2016 Spring Festival Gala. " And I am wondering if there is a better way to express this idea. Thank you!

I am not sure I understand what it is you think Chinese audiences will "reject," but a different way of structuring the sentence is, "My hypothesis is that Chinese audiences that have received a university education are more likely to resist political agendas involved in the 2016 Spring Festival Gala." "My hypothesis is" comes across clearer and stronger than "My hypothesis will be." I do not know if this will be helpful or not, but it might be better to say "My hypothesis is that Chinese audiences that have received a university education are less likely to be influenced by political agendas represented at the 2016 Spring Festival Gala." I hope this helps.

My hypothesis is that the more educated members of the Chinese audience , meaning those of them who have at least a university education , are less likely to buy into the political agenda behind the 2016 Spring Festival Gala .
