Xi’s “Thoughts’ to Become State School Propaganda for Chinese Kids

China is all set to educate its youth on the version of “Marxist belief” espoused by its president by infusing “Xi Jinping Thought” into the national curriculum, its ministry of education announced on Tuesday.

Already enshrined in China’s Constitution in 2018, “Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era” will be taught to thousands of students starting from primary school level up into university.

Aimed at establishing Marxist beliefs and a young age as well as loyalty to the ruling Chinese Communist Party, the introduction of “Xi Jinping Thought” in textbooks will help strengthen the “resolve to listen to and follow the party”, the state-run Global Times reported, citing an official statement.
