Consistent with Chinese rampant nationalism and militarism, school libraries are being culled of Western books that might promote veneration of the West. That would include not only the classic literature, such as Shakespeare, but even more lowly works such as about Bill Gates, which in isolation is not so bad. But instead of this kiddies will be drilled with collections of the speeches of Xi Jinping, to mold them into being better little communists. It is Chairman Mao, all over again. I suggest that the ban extend to all Western science and technology as well, that China loves to pinch. Let them, as the band Fleetwood Mac once sung, “go their own way.”
