China schools: 'Xi Jinping Thought' introduced into curriculum by NwaNimo1(m): 2:44am On Aug 26, 2021
China will introduce the political ideology of the Chinese President in its national curriculum.

"Xi Jinping thought" will help "teenagers establish Marxist beliefs", said the Ministry of Education (MOE) in new guidelines.


The ideology will be integrated from primary school up to university.

This is the latest effort by Mr Xi to consolidate the ruling Chinese Communist Party's role in different areas of society.

In a statement, the MOE said it aimed "to cultivate the builders and successors of socialism with an all-round moral, intellectual, physical and aesthetic grounding".

The guidelines include labour education "to cultivate their hard-working spirit" and education on national security.

In 2018, China's top body enshrined "Xi Jinping Thought" into the constitution.

Since then, it's been introduced across some universities and amongst political youth wings holding extra-curricular activities and schools.

"Xi Jinping Thought" has 14 main principles which emphasise Communist ideals and also:

Call for "complete and deep reform" and "new developing ideas"
Promise "harmonious living between man and nature"
Emphasise "absolute authority of the party over the people's army"
Emphasise the importance of "'one country two systems' and reunification with the motherland"


The new guidelines however, will see a much more extensive roll-out.

"Primary schools will focus on cultivating love for the country, the Communist Party of China, and socialism. In middle schools, the focus will be on a combination of perceptual experience and knowledge study, to help students form basic political judgments and opinions," state media outlet Global Times reported.

"In college, there will be more emphasis on the establishment of theoretical thinking," it added.

The ministry is also working on including themes such as party leadership and national defence education into the curriculum, Tian Huisheng, an education ministry official told Global Times.

Previous Chinese leaders have come up with their own political ideologies which have been incorporated into the party's constitution or thinking.

But none, besides party founder Mao Zedong, have had their ideology described as "thought", which is at the top of the hierarchy, and only Mao and Deng Xiaoping have had their names attached to their ideologies.

Similar method American used by their "pledge of allegiance", only that american was more Liberal in their approach, while China is taking the communist path. The problem with this latter is why, would such an ideology be forced fed to them while they are young,on one hand, you will breed more committed, patriotic and zealous citizens. The problem with this is the potential for a population that has a closed ideology of only what they are exposed to, this i think may set a dangerous precedence, of ruling a population whose way of life are so structured in such a way that any other ideology is considered a threat to the creed which they follow and the sovereignty of their country. Unlike Americans who, at the expense of liberalism are breeding a population who are being disillusioned or freaked out with so much freedom, that they live in paranoia. Most American citizens are so paranoid, and are always prone to depression. This has make more and more disgruntled citizens who lack the appetite to improve on their success in yesteryear. If you notice recently, in science and technology, american citizens are no longer well represented. They now have the field dominated by the indians and Chinese. Even in a global scale, they have the Chinese and the Russian, who wouldn't settle for less and will want to give the US a run for their money.

Leaders take time to invest in children, they have chosen their own path.
At least the children are not available for some blood thirsty criminal to corrupt with paths of destruction.

China never colonized us or harassed us. You don't see china destabilizing countries for economic interest that is America. China has shown that communism works. They got extremely wealthy without colonialism. We must learn from them and stop listening to the west. China was once was colonized like us.
