This paragraph from the article gives us a glimpse inside the Chinese regimented educational system:
“When I was in school in China, facing incomprehensible concepts like “the scientific system of Mao Zedong thought,” and “socialist system with Chinese characteristics,” I told myself not to think about their meaning but just to memorize them and regurgitate them on the exams. When you live under “Communist Party rule, not thinking is self-preservation.
Sounds like 1984.
