Yuan Guiren said Thursday that university classes in China are no place for books that promote western values.
According to Xinhua, Yuan said “Never let textbooks promoting Western values appear in our classes.”
He also said that books should be void of any slander at the leadership of the Communist Party of China.
The remarks by the Chinese official seem to be alluding to some western textbooks that are taught in Chinese universities, with many of them clearly challenging China’s single-party rule.
Universities and colleges in China are under direct control and supervisions of the ruling Communist Party, with some of them ranking among the best in the world. However, the rise of incumbent President Xi Jinping to the party’s leadership in 2012 led to a new campaign to expel some university professors whose actions were deemed to be anti-government.
