@ghost_of_faso2@DamarcusArt A clever thing to do - upgrades the literacy and intellectual prowess of the populations to do so. Most people in the West are semi-literate at best with political and social theory.
also diversifies the workforce and makes sure the public never stop learning; if you imagine how most people just stopped challenging there perception here as soon as they get a degree and have to go get a mcjob, if they even get out of high school!
with this you have a block of your time, your in work time, not your free time dedicated and paid for by the state just to keep learning political and social theory, and why not? both of those things are like cooking, you use them every single day to enrich your life.
from a pargmatic perspective too, you wouldnt let someone drive a car without a exam, so why expect them to fully participate in a democracy without an expectation that you will teach them how it works?
Its not as a inverse relationship as say, you cant vote without passing this exam; more just they can see its beneficial for everyone to understand how it works and the theory behind it so they can be better participants.
I really don’t imagine them to be that dull once you consider that you don’t learn XJT just because the law requires that you do. XJT is literally about how to govern China, you learn it because you will be deciding how to govern and build the Chinese civilisation (Well perhaps not as a McKinsey goon in school detention, but definitely when you’re a CPC member). You will need to use your general education in geography, biology, cultures and their customs and environments, energy production and distribution, chemistry, physics, engineering, technology, civilian and military logistics, international relations, classical Chinese philosophy and current Marxist theory, together with your own creativity, imagination, and ability to draw connections, to answer problems existential to the oldest continuous civilisation known to humanity.
Damn, could I get to take classes on Xi thought while on company time? Sounds great.
the chinese goverment will literally give you a third of the week off to just read theory

Curious how these classes look like. Are they just the standard school/academia slog or is it more interesting than that
They’re probably pretty dull tbh, but I’d rather get to educate myself and get paid for it rather than slog away doing nothing useful.
