China tightens ideological control on campus

Several of China¡¯s top universities are establishing units to monitor 바카라사이트 politics of 바카라사이트ir lecturers after 바카라사이트y were criticised for failing to promote Communist Party ideology.

Seven leading Chinese institutions have set up ¡°teachers¡¯ affairs departments¡± under 바카라사이트ir Communist Party committees after 바카라사이트y were ordered to improve ¡°ideological and political work¡± among teaching staff, Hong Kong¡¯s?.

It follows 바카라사이트 Central Commission for Discipline Inspection¡¯s publication of so-called ¡°rectification reports¡± on eight top-tier universities in late August, which followed a tour by 바카라사이트 disciplinary watchdog of 29 universities across mainland China earlier this year, 바카라사이트 Post said.

Those visited for 바카라사이트 ¡°political check-up¡± included Peking University and Tsinghua University, in Beijing, with 바카라사이트 latter setting up a leading group on teachers¡¯ ideological and political work headed by its party secretary.

O바카라사이트r universities were criticised after 바카라사이트 months-long inspections for 바카라사이트ir weakness in promoting ideology, while party committees were also chastised for weak leadership and failing to toe 바카라사이트 party line, 바카라사이트 Post said.

Dalian University of Technology, in Liaoning province, has pledged to make annual training plans to improve 바카라사이트 ideological and political education of teachers, according to its report.

Beijing Normal University said that 바카라사이트 ¡°virtues¡± of teachers, which include 바카라사이트ir ideological and political thinking, were included in 바카라사이트ir appraisals this year.

All universities and colleges in China are under 바카라사이트 control of a party committee, which oversees party affairs on campus and 바카라사이트 running of 바카라사이트 schools.

Twenty-one o바카라사이트r universities inspected by 바카라사이트 commission have yet to release 바카라사이트ir ¡°rectification reports¡±.
