China releases controversial 'morality' guidelines

China has released new  "morality guidelines," the first set since 2001, that its citizens are expected to adhere to for "comprehensive social progress and overall development of people," according to the communist government.

The guidelines are intended to bolster party support and patriotism and include items such as "actively practice the green production lifestyle," "strengthen the construction of online content" and carry out "good social customs" while traveling and in public places, per the outline.

The document, titled the "Outline for the Implementation of the Moral Construction of Citizens in the New Era," was released ahead of the ruling Communist Party's closed-door meeting to discuss policies, which started Monday and will end Thursday. They are driven by "Marxist, socialist and communist morality" and instruct citizens on how to behave properly in all aspects of life, the government said.

I've noted this before as well, they are aiming for a sort of "uniform Chinese citizen" for the future and that has me a bit worried.

From the article:
"China has released new  "morality guidelines," the first set since 2001, that its citizens are expected to adhere to for "comprehensive social progress and overall development of people," according to the communist government."

Seems like that up until the end of the 1950's, we had a similar set of moral and social guidelines and an education system that promoted them. The goal was "maintaining and preserving Western Civilization".

Granted, these were nowhere close to being as austere as those of the Chinese, but at least there existed here a framework for minimum standards and propagating those standards from one generation to the next.

Now that edifice has been ripped away, and where are we headed?

Sadly, a Fishrrman fearless prediction:
300 years from now, China will still be China, and the Chinese of tomorrow will not be all that different from those who live there now.
But America -- along with the people and culture who built it -- will be long gone.
