China’s share of global GDP has increased from 3.6% in 2000 to 17.8% in 2019 and will continue to grow, the CEBR said. It would pass the per capita threshold of $12,536 (£9,215) to become a high-income country by 2023.

    politics and ‘marxism’ as it is taught in the high schools and universities is nationalism-lite with civic-bureaucratic characteristics

    are you Chinese/received Chinese education? If so, could you elaborate? I'd love to know more about China's modern political education

      was a bit of a hot take from me, they did used to go over the basics of LTV and things like how to understand SWCC (probably still do) but in recent years there has been a slant towards normativity (at least for the chinese equivalent of the GRE) in the framing of the CPC; less as representatives of the proletariat (because even the lumpenproles would see through any bs proclamations of a DotP in an instant) but rather as the guarantors of the continuing success of the chinese civilization and by extension the interests of all chinese people

      lots of technocratic box-checking and memorization of events/dates with the corresponding 'correct answer' consequences
