Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Chinese universities have been overrun by Western (neoclassical) economics for the past couple decades.
In China, neoclassical economics are known as Western economics (西方经济学), and Marxian economics are known as political economy (政治经济学).
Political economists aka Marxian economists have long been banished to humanities and social science departments.
Most prominent Chinese economists who are close to the center of power today, like Justin Lin Yifu (Chicago school), Zhang Weiying (Austrian school, PhD Oxford), Yi Gang (just sacked as head of PBoC) etc. are all Western educated or specializes in Western neoclassical economics even when they did their PhD in China (Li Yining, for example, who was the PhD advisor of Li Keqiang. Both of them just died this year.).
The legendary Marxian economists of the previous era like Xue Muqiao and Sun Yefang no longer exist as important players in today’s China economics department in the academia, nor are they giving advise to the Central Committee.
Out of interest, are these two worth reading? And do you have other recommendations?
That seems very grim. Is there any chance of this reversing ?
