Damn sometimes I forget how intellectualizing Americans will talk about the largest socialist country on the planet. Literally doing the "at what cost" meme lol

I'll say it, even if what you're saying is true, it's true of all states, and it's good and proper that the PRC reinforces a socialist worldview through it's education. What's the alternative?

China’s ambitious education plan seems to promise quality and accessibility, but we must ask: what kind of education will it promote?

Why ask questions when you intend to answer them yourself and are most likely (speaking from experience) going to ignore any answers received?

True education awakens class consciousness and challenges power structures

The first part is true but the second part is not. The second part presupposes that whatever power structures are in place must always be challenged. You are imposing your own ideology in education. And I know that you are not talking about criticizing or improving the power structures, but rebelling against them because of your next sentence.

but education shaped by the state can become a tool for reinforcing conformity, obedience, and the status quo.

Basically, you want chinese education to become a tool for your euro-centric ideology to forment civil disobedience, in service of your euro-centric goals.

As Marxist theory teaches us

What Marxist theory theory actually teaches us is that we must be critical of everything, including our own biases and circumstances. You are applying your own ideology, developed under the experience of capitalist dictatorship to a socialist society.

What is the ruling class in the PRC? Very important question to answer if you think investing in education will weaken the PRC, not strengthen it.

This text has the same LLM slop formulation as two days ago when you made China out to not be socialist 🥱

What's your argument? That they should implement the "American Way" - crush education and paywal it so only the elite can have it while the rest of the nation lives in ignorance?

Because if they end up with a highly educated, liberal population, mankind may actually have a chance to avoid extinction...

Educated people won’t stay obedient. That’s why reactionary powers historically avoid aiming for truly educated masses—they prefer a controlled education system that reinforces their ideology, not one that fosters critical thinking or revolutionary action.

Your LLM knows it. China education good

They can indoctrinate for a while, but education (as opposed to vocational training) inherently encourages critical thinking skills that make people progressively more resistant to the indoctrination.
