Chinese university graduates are struggling to find work in the country’s worst labour market in years — unless they have degrees in Marxism.

Despite being China’s ruling ideology, Marxism has for decades been an obscure major for students. But it is enjoying a revival under President Xi Jinping, who has urged Chinese Communist party cadres to “remember the original mission” as he prepares to begin an unprecedented third term in power this year.

According to Yingjiesheng, a leading job search website for university graduates, there has been a 20 per cent increase in openings that require a Marxism degree in the second quarter — the peak hiring season — compared with the same period last year. Marxism experts are being sought by employers ranging from government departments to private conglomerates.

@yogthos My family left China when it was under Hu Jintao (I was a kid at the time so it wasn't my choice, kind of want to go back TBH). Honestly, I think that if Xi Jinping was president during that time, we would never have thought of leaving.

@yogthos Imagine getting paid to say stupid stuff like this: “The purpose of the major is to train thought police to brainwash the entire population,” said Ming Xia, a political-science professor at the City University of New York." ...while also thinking that you, the writer, have only ever said The Truth.

@amikigu the fact that this kind of language is considered completely normal inadvertently exposes how propagandized the west is.
