China's Authoritarian Regime Sets Eyes on Education Control Through 2035 Plan

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has released a so-called action plan to become a 'strong education nation' by 2035, a strategy many view as a veiled attempt to indoctrinate youth and solidify authoritarian rule. This plan, ostensibly aimed at coordinating educational resources, is likely to enforce a nationalistic and CCP-centric curriculum, stifling academic freedom and eroding Western democratic ideals. Critics argue it’s part of China's broader agenda to project soft power and challenge the global influence of free nations under the guise of educational development.
