From July 21 to 26, the Central Propaganda Department and the Ministry of Education organized a group of 100 college-level Ideology and Politics teachers from 31 cities to tour Shanghai and Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. Their mission was to utilize concrete examples from the tour so as to rationalize the theories related to the socialist path such as “why we should insist on walking the socialist path with Chinese characteristics,” “why we should guard the socialistic core value system,” “how can we demonstrate the superior quality of the socialist system among all the different types of economic ownership.”

The trip “helped the college Ideology and Politics teachers to witness and gain confidence in socialistic theory with Chinese characteristics,” which allows them to “envision the future and strengthened their sense of responsibility.”
