China Introduces Textbooks Emphasizing Xi Jinping Thought and National Security

New curriculum for primary and junior high schools aims to deepen ideological education and patriotism among students.

Students will receive new textbooks promoting Xi Jinping's political philosophy and national security.
The curriculum includes Chinese language, history, morality, and law with a focus on traditional culture and revolutionary history.
Teachers are required to pledge loyalty to the Communist Party, and travel restrictions have been imposed on them.
Parents are increasingly turning to private schools, though these institutions also face government scrutiny.
The new textbooks will initially be used in the first and seventh grades, expanding to all grades within three years.
