Last year the political curriculum for primary and secondary school students in China got updated to better adhere to “Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era” (quite a mouthful, so let’s use SWCC). I happened to have their PDFs saved on my drive and thought some of you might be interested in their contents.
Even if you can’t read Chinese it’s still worth looking through it as it makes prominent use of imagery (especially the primary grade materials) and many of us (especially in the West) look upon these study materials with envy.
One thing that stood out to me is that while there is a chapter dedicated to China’s navy and military in the junior high book; said chapter is immediately followed by the chapter on peaceful collaboration and common destiny for humankind, thus making sure to emphasise that China’s military might should only be used to defend China’s borders and not to intervene in other nations.
Ooh I bet the West is just foaming at the mouth over this. “REEE THIS IS BRAINWASHING MIND CONTROL ORWELL TWO PLUS TWO EQUALS FIVE!!”
Also Roland Boer likes to say, who doesn’t like a clean brain?
Awesome, thanks for sharing these!
Thanks for putting these here Btw which ones have images or are worth reading to someone who doesn’t have any chinese knowledge?
First Grader books have the most infographic images. But if you want infographics you might as well type that into the search bar of either the China Daily or the People’s Daily. What do you want to know about?
Well just random info, but thanks for the response
If you want some nuanced stories about China in English then you could check out Sixth Tone. If you want to learn about different topics there are always the white papers by the government. If you want to go a more academic route .
I’ll check those out thanks!
