Xi Wants Chinese Students Back in the Countryside

[Reashot Xigwin]

More people will back to countryside, now every village is connected to the internet and power grid, has water supply, express delivery. It's convenient same as city but not crowded.

There's also no good paying jobs & nothing else to do. Xi basically keeping people in the village to serves as permanent farmers.

This is basically modern serfdom but with Amazon.

There are more businesses in the countryside and jobs online, especially after the pandemic.

At what? Packaging corn.

There's a reason why people left the countryside in the 1st place. Xi's decision doesn't make sense economically other than nostalgia for back when he's a pig farmer.

These worries have only been exacerbated in recent years with the rise in popularity of effeminate Chinese celebrities (or “sissies” as one editorial by the state-run Xinhua news agency wrote) and the realization that China’s one-child policy abetted a generation of needy boys devoid of self-reliance. Pockets of state media have depicted masculinity’s decline as a national “crisis” that runs antithetical to the country’s strongman image embodied by Xi.

I'm surprised the party didn't recognise the dolly of their one child policy long ago. It's madness for them to even decide how many kids a family should have. This dolly has led to an irredeemable demographic and social catastrophe that will take centuries to rectify. The effects of this will be long lasting. They should scrap the limits of how many children couple should have altogether. Let the people have the number of kids they seem necessary for them.

Foreign Policy is a garbage publication.

LOL I love how you spin every initiative in China as if it's some totalitarian evil plot. China needs to develop its rural areas and talents are needed. Shenzhen was basically farmland 40 years ago too, and now it's an international metropolis.

It's one of the pitfalls of the governing system. Policies that have outlived their usefulness continue because current leaders don't want to undermine their predecessors' legacy. Some things move rapidly in China, while others take a long time.

Too bad. That's how it is going forward. Chinese government need to not allow Western media to intentionally mistranslate. If they continue to do so, give warnings to the media who is doingbit (China is very experience in giving warnings) . If they don't listen ban the appropriate media house from these hearings and conferences.

Xi’s labor education initiative aims to politically sanitize such social ills. The policy is most importantly a means to remedy younger citizens’ lack of mental and physical fortitude by way of Xi’s party-centric ideology. Whether a renewed ideological focus through labor education produces greater political adherence among future generations, only time will tell. In the meantime, one aspect remains certain—labor education isn’t going away anytime soon. The reason: Officials plan on amending China’s Education Law to include the word “labor.”

The more things change ... ....

The products of such an education system can achieve only so much, and only within the confines of what is permissible. Creativity and the economic bounty it generates will remain a stretch.
