Conferences and short course topics at the school are taught by Chinese teachers affiliated with party schools in China. In Tanzania, they teach party governance, party discipline, anti-corruption methods, Xi Jinping Thought, and poverty alleviation. African staff, who operate the school, give lectures and short courses on topics including Pan-Africanism, nationalism and public-sector enterprise management. Together, they share lessons from their revolutionary history.

Oh no they are teaching them to care for their people.

China is actively spreading class consciousness outside of China? Great news. This means a lot for socialism in the third world

Wow that article was just full of anti-china sentiment and sinophobia. I especially found it funny when they mentioned how liberal democracies also had their own training schools, but that's okay because it's liberal democracy.

China exporting it's system is not okay because it's "authoritarian," but when we it it's promoting freedom. There's this inherent white-supremacy, this racism that the western system is factually better, and they make their conclusions from there. They don't justify it, it's just viewed as a fact.

But either way, it's really inspiring that China is doing this.

You replace "spreading freedom and democracy" with the 19th century White Man's Burden of "civilising the savages" and absolutely nothing changes in their argument. It's always been about white supremacy.

There are 'American' schools and universities everywhere lol. Malta, Iraq, even the DPRK.

Did the DPRK neutralize them, or is the American school there a 5th column?

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 10 months ago

It's an international university of some sort. The academics are from the West and they're not allowed into the rest of the country. It's a kind of special academic zone, I think. Westerners can't otherwise visit or work in the DPRK without violating sanctions, for which they would be arrested on their return home. But they can teach in the university so long as they follow the rules. I think they have about 500 students, specially selected to learn about the west and to learn what Western elites are taught in their top universities.

Feels like the curriculum is tailored to Tanzania.

For Germany, they’d probably want to start with undoing the brain rot.

This is actually really racist, because the Tanzanian people are required to do jumping jacks in the morning as part of a collective exercise routine (actual claim I saw)

Wait until whoever said that has to start kindergarten and go to gym class every day

Africa has a foundation in social consciousness, but Europe have not.
