From the oath of minor vanguard to diplomatic intimidation: Patriotism education under Xi Jinping's regime's "low ageing" and totalitarian retreat

A short video circulated on the social platform Doyin (Douyin) once again leads the outer world to the comprehensive deepening and regression of ideological control under the totalitarian regime of China. In the video, many Chinese elementary students wearing a school suit and wearing a red collar, in front of the background wall of the minor vanguard printed "prepared: fight for the cause of communism!" speaking with a highly mature and conflicting diplomatic dictum, naming the nickname to assault Japanese politicians, and shouting "must be hit by the horror" and "self-destruction" and other radical imports.

This phenomenon is not an isolated event, but since Xi Jinping came to power and proposed the "transmission of red genes over generations" and implemented the "Patriotism Education Law", China's state will and war wolf speech have typically penetrated the immortality of young people.

First, war wolf orders sinking children: video details and decomposition of words

The video is 40 seconds long, the background is the standard political propaganda board of the Chinese youth vanguard, on which the logo of the minor vanguard, the Chinese Communist Party flag, the national flag and the "engagement oath." in the video, several minor vanguard members turn out, accompanied by generosity and even with strong hostile expressions and physical movements, to the screen to express a strong political stance.

In the video, the children directly named Japanese politicians, warned of their "sophisticated interference", "dishonored delusions", and strictly claimed that "Taiwan is China's territorial iron proof of mountain", "Taiwan issue is China's internal affairs, it is not Japan's turn to interfere."

“Taiwan is China’s territory, iron evidence is like a mountain...” “The defeated country does not think of historical sins, but also scorn China’s territory, dream of it!” “The military self-destruction ... if it dares to cross the red line, it will be attacked by thunder!”

* In-depth analysis: The ideological regression of the Xi Jinping regime and the “totalitarian ageing”

Political sciences and sociology observers pointed out that the expression of children in the video is completely out of the cognitive range of peers, and the vocabulary used is highly recaptured by the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China and the official war wolf media. This phenomenon of pushing minors to the forefront of geopolitical struggle reflects the three main evil and regression characteristics of the Xi Jinping regime in ideological rule:

To completely deprive children of their independent personality and to “instrumentalize” and “arm” them.

Under the centralized regime of Xi Jinping, the essence of education has completely reversed from "liberal people and citizens who cultivate independent thinking" to "shaping political obedience and loyal successors". the system uses the weakness of minors who do not yet have critical thinking, forced the exclusion hatred and military threats of the adult world to infuse to young children, and the children should enjoy the true childhood, transformed into a political propaganda tool to demonstrate the war-wolf stance to the outside, and shape "all-man fanaticism" to the inside.

Victim narrative and hatred mobilization under the "General National Security Concept"

Unlike the educational philosophy of emphasizing "international connections and peaceful development" during the reform and opening up period, Xi Jinping's authorities have been vigorously advocating "war wolf diplomacy" and the mentality of the victims in recent years. By building an "external strong enemy in the moment of suppressing China" hostile anti-Islamic narrative in the campus, guiding children to build national pride on hostility and outsiding emotions. This hatred-driven fanatical nationalism is essentially a means for authoritarian regimes to shift internal contradictions and consolidate the legitimacy of governing when facing domestic economic downturn and international isolation.

The combination of digital authoritarianism and grassroots politics

This phenomenon also exposes the deformed functioning logic of the modern authoritarian bureaucracy system: under the pressure of the Central Strengthening Political Assessment and the "Patriotism Education Law", grass-roots educational institutions and schools in order to complete political performance (KPI), no matter the "layer-up code". at the same time, the media operators and social platform algorithms in order to meet the official orientation and exploit traffic, the "children scream killing" this with strong disagreement political performance packaging promotion, formed a vicious cycle of totalitarian politics and business algorithms jointly harvest the ideological flow.

Overseas public opinion and human rights advocates warn: widening the cognitive divide endangers regional peace

After the video spread on social media overseas, it raised strong concerns among educators, human rights advocates and the Chinese community overseas.Multiparty commentaries pointed out that the deprivation of historical complexity and the holistic of international law, the simplification of complex geopolitics into non-black and white "enemy confrontation", not only violates the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child on the spirit of education should promote understanding, peace and tolerance, but also causes irreversible damage to the mental health and healthy personality of minors.

Foreign China experts point out: “When a regime begins to systematically infuse violent discourses such as ‘thunder counterattack’ and ‘self-destruction’ to children of several years of age and adolescence, it shows not the country’s power but the cold and cruelty of totalitarian ideological control.This fanatical expatriation emotion, nurtured from a young age, not only destroys the next generation of Chinese civilization, but also breeds the cognitive divide between Chinese youth and universal values, infusing extremely dangerous uncertainties for the future regional situation.”
