Amid concurrent\u00a0crackdowns on official corruption<\/a> and “subversive” political ideology<\/a>\u00a0led by\u00a0President Xi Jinping, the People’s Daily reported last weekend<\/a> [Chinese] that senior anti-graft official Zhang Yingwei had\u00a0accused the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), a highly influential government think tank, of becoming “infiltrated” by foreign\u00a0forces<\/a>. The official also\u00a0noted\u00a0that the think tank had “ideological problems.”<\/p>\n

Last April, an internal party memo\u00a0known as “Document No. 9” warned Party members against seven “false ideological trends.”<\/a>\u00a0On the list were “Western constitutional democracy,” “universal values,” and the “West’s idea of journalism.” Months later, Party political theory journal Seeking Truth (\u6c42\u662f) denounced “Western calls for political reform.”<\/a> Since then,\u00a0the Xi administration has put increased\u00a0emphasis on\u00a0ideological correctness in Party recruitment<\/a>, targeted\u00a0outspoken liberal microbloggers<\/a>\u00a0in social media crackdowns, and made training in the “Marxist view of journalism” \u00a0mandatory for Chinese reporters<\/a>\u00a0to renew their press credentials.<\/p>\n

In the month leading up to the recent\u00a0anniversary of the June 4th crackdown<\/a> on Tiananmen Square protesters,\u00a0activists, human rights lawyers, and journalists were placed in detention<\/a>\u2014part of\u00a0government efforts to prevent commemoration\u00a0of the Chinese democracy movement’s quashing<\/a>\u00a025 years ago.<\/p>\n

CDT collects directives from a variety of sources and checks them against official Chinese media reports to confirm their implementation.<\/em><\/p>\n

Since directives are sometimes communicated orally to journalists and editors, who then leak them online, the wording published here may not be exact. The date given may indicate when the directive was leaked, rather than when it was issued. CDT does its utmost to verify dates and wording, but also takes precautions to protect the source.<\/em><\/p>\n
