China is proposing a law that would require schools to teach "Xi Jinping Thought," as part of a broader effort to instill patriotic education and control over the thoughts and actions of the country's youth. The law would also mandate ideological and political education, including the Communist Party's official version of history, national symbols, and national security. Critics argue that the law aims to criminalize unpatriotic ideas and comments, while others see it as an attempt to strengthen ideological control over young people. The law would also target Chinese overseas and require internet platforms to provide patriotic education to users.
