China’s communist regime has introduced a “patriotic education law” to maintain national unity. The law aims to promote patriotism education through the rule of law in the new era. However, experts argue that this law is simply another attempt by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to force citizens to love the party and its regime. The CCP has always blurred the lines between the party and the country, bundling love for the country, the party, and socialism together. The drafting of this law follows the regime’s draconian “Zero-COVID” policy and is seen as part of a larger strategy to tighten ideological control in China. However, critics believe that the CCP’s behavior has caused outrage and resentment among some Chinese citizens. They argue that the CCP wants to use the coercive force of the law to ensure people’s loyalty and love for the party, which violates basic norms of modern civilization. Additionally, the international community distinguishes the CCP from the Chinese people and China, a distinction that the party fears the most. Some experts believe that this law is a response to the CCP’s crisis of governance and may be used as a legal tool for the party to control the people. There are concerns that this legislation will cultivate more pro-CCP individuals who may become tools to fight against the free world. However, critics argue that forcing people to love the CCP will only strengthen resistance against the party.
