Chinese universities start teaching Xi Jinping Thought

Almaty. October 31. Silkroadnews - Chinese universities start teaching Xi Jinping Thought, The Economic Times reported.
“Xi Jinping Thought will now be taught, researched and promoted in universities across China, ensuring that the leader's eponymous philosophy is implanted into students’ hearts and minds,” the report said.
It is noted that at least twenty universities set up research institutes to study Xi Jinping’s Thoughts, which are enshrined in the Communist Party’s constitution at its 19th national congress this month.
The research institutes advocate the inclusion of Xi thought in all aspects of everyday life.
“We will gather many experts and professors to disseminate and preach Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era in businesses, neighborhoods and villages,” said Jiang Hongxin, the head of the newly founded Xi Thought research centre at the University of Hunan.
Jiang’s attitude reflects the opinion of many institute directors, who, in interviews with Chinese media, supported a deep commitment to spread Xi Jinping’s ideas.
“The (research) centre has a unique duty, which is to push forward Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era in curriculums, in classrooms and in minds,” the agency quoted Chen Xianda, a professor at Renmin University of China.
“The education ministry also released guidelines Monday for mandatory elementary and high school extracurricular programs that include activities to “foster emotional attachment to the Chinese Communist Party”,” the publication reads.
