The Chinese Ministry of Education announced that schools and universities should incorporate texts on the political thought of the President and General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CCP), Xi Jinping, in their programs to “help adolescents believe in Marxism ”.
The ministry released this new directive on Tuesday, which also aims to “cultivate the successors of socialism” with “a solid moral, intellectual, physical and aesthetic foundation” which allows them to “form their own political judgments and opinions”.
