Peking University, Shanghai’s Fudan University and Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou have vowed to strengthen ideological control over teachers and students, South China Morning Post reported, citing a statement from the three universities’ Communist Party committees. “In recent years, some people with ulterior motives have added fuel to the flames on the Internet ultimately targeting the Chinese Communist Party and the socialist system,” the committees wrote in the latest edition of the party journal Qiushi. They called on teachers and students to “take a firm stand and be unequivocal, and fight against speech and actions that touch upon the party’s and country’s principles and bottom lines in a timely, efficient and resolute manner”.
