China appears to be requiring foreign law professors to submit their syllabi to ensure they are following a doctrine President Xi Jinping has been pressing across the nation’s society to cement his control.
James Zimmerman, a media lawyer with law firm Perkins Coie, posted a document on Twitter that he said law professors at a university in Beijing were required to fill out and submit to superiors before classes started.
The document’s “General Objectives” is filled out for the educators, saying: “Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, this course places a focus on every aspect of students’ morality education.”
