It's a trap. American colleges championed socialism for too long, and look what happened to our White House in 2008 and 2012 and to our economy from 2008 through today.

China’s leadership has issued guidelines requiring universities to strengthen ideological controls in classrooms and telling professors to champion Marxism, traditional culture and socialist core values.
The orders come as President Xi Jinping tightens his grip on political power and cracks down on the encroachment of supposed Western values such as press freedom and civil society groups. […]

This is now the largest export economy on Earth.
A billion people. Yet they cannot vote to change their leadership, they do not allow immigration, and we continue to send ever-more American jobs there.
They should send their professors to any American college to learn how to do it right.

It's a trap. American colleges championed socialism for too long, and look what happened to our White House in 2008 and 2012 and to our economy from 2008 through today.

My coworker went to Bejing U.
Uhhh...no. They are all about the money. They all want those prized high-paying jobs, either in China or overseas.
“Respect for” authority or forced worship?
