Education has always been important in Chinese culture.
- PittleyDunkin 2y agoNot democratized education, to my understanding. Rural china has never had the sort of broad access to education that exists there now (and is still rapidly developing).
- jpgvm 2y agoYou could say it's central to their culture. Sort of goes for most Asian cultures, the education of children is something Asian parents will sacrifice greatly for.
- foobarian 2y agoCurious that education is valued so much, but then there are cycles of uprisings where educated people are targeted (Cambodia, Chairman Mao, ..)
- hnthrowaway0315 2y agoIt's a bit more complicated than that though.
- ReptileMan 2y agoAs always the revolution starts from the competing elites. The culture revolution happened because CCP couldn't allow any form of alternative power centers.
- adventured 2y agoThat's pretty blatantly false. Mao had a very large number of China's teachers executed during the 1960s, which set the entire nation back two generations in education (at least). The teachers - along with many other enlightened peoples - were murdered for being so called Capitalist intellectuals. Pretending "always" for anything related to China, you can be sure their elaborate history will prove you wrong.
