Is this another of the Communist party’s reckless attempts to promote jingoism and ultra-nationalism?
Or is it an attempt to dumb-down the masses by keeping them ignorant of the outside world?
There is already a substantial problem with Chinese being ignorant of names of countries since they are taught the Chinese names in school. Hence Cambodia becomes Jian Puzhai, and when they hear “Cambodia” on the news they have no understanding.
Is this similar to what Japan did when planning its WWII attacks? Did it not ban western speech and dress?
