Nazi thought has even found its way into Chinese academia as, for example, shown in a good analysis on The Nazi Scholar Inspiring China’s Intelligentsia - (October 2026),
... In Chinese universities ... over the past 20 years, ... a German writer has helped to shape China’s ideological development. Improbably, he was an anti-Communist scholar and polemicist, a man who became known, and notorious, worldwide as Hitler’s “crown jurist.” His name is Carl Schmitt ... both Chinese and Western followers of the country’s politics have noted the rise of “Schmitt fever” among Chinese intellectuals ...
Schmitt began to attract notable Chinese intellectual attention in the late 1980s, in the context of growing interest in so-called neoauthoritarianism—a contemporary form of governance that combines centralized political control with selective use of market-oriented reforms. In 1987, politics and law professor Dong Fanyu cited Schmitt to support the [Chinese Communist] party’s assertion of authority in the face of ambiguities in the PRC constitution. Whereas constitutional preambles may have little or no legal relevance in interpreting constitutions in liberal democracies, Dong, citing Schmitt, argued that China’s preamble, which characterized the country’s legal system as an outgrowth of national liberation by the party, reflected a pre-legal existential act of founding that gives the document legitimacy. The larger message was that the party, as the fount of law, stood above it ...
In sum, the writings of Carl Schmitt play an important legitimizing role for the CCP [Chinese Communist Party] along many dimensions ... [Schmitt’s] insistence that liberal proceduralism, checks and balances, and guarantees of individual rights fuel disunity and threaten national security justifies CCP supremacy and imposition of a Han-majoritarian national identity. His contention that sovereignty resides in the person or body that can declare “exceptions” to the law—where the law is incomplete, or an obstacle to national security—justifies presidential and party rule. His support for a market economy guided by the visible hand of the state serves as an endorsement of its model of state capitalism. His rejection of the notion of “universal law” justifies the CCP’s dismissal of charges of human rights violations in Xinjiang and Tibet ...
Another article from 2021 finds growing parallels between Xi Jinping’s China and Hitler’s Germany, citing the developments in Hong Kong as an example asking,
South Africa’s former apartheid regime sparked a sustained and effective global boycott. Where is today’s “boycott China” movement to counter this 21st Century appeasement?
These are just two examples. There is much more.
