Xi Jinping Thought to be taught in China’s universities

The first and most prominent of the Xi-related departments will be at Beijing’s Renmin or People’s University, one of China’s top institutions.

… A second centre is reportedly being set up in Tianjin, a city about 70 miles southeast of Beijing. According to E-North,
a local news website, that department opened on Wednesday at the
Tianjin University of Finance and Economics and will focus on the
“ideological and political education” of local students.

Further afield, the Global Times reported
that “study groups” were being organised from north to south, where
cadres could “learn and implement the Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism
with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era”.

Cai Qi, a Xi ally who is Beijing’s Communist party chief and was this
week promoted into China’s 25-member politburo, said “studying,
promoting and implementing the spirit” of Xi’s thinking was now the
Chinese capital’s “top priority”.
