The central importance of ideological education in Chinese higher education has been reiterated in recent years. President Xi Jimping recently asserted that "Ideological and political work is fundamentally work about individuals. The work must focus on students, caring for them, serving them, and helping them improve in ideological quality, political awareness, moral characteristics and humanistic quality to enable them to develop both ability and integrity."
Understanding what President Xi and Communist Part of China (CPC) leaders mean when they advocate for intensified ideological focus in higher education is important for institutions around the world who host Chinese international students as well as institutions/countries that now have, or are considering, partnered programs in China. An important implication of the focus on ideology is that higher education is perceived to have a major responsibility in developing the leaders for the future in the socialist cause.
