Notes

↩ [1] 潜在隐患 (qiánzài yǐnhuàn): "Potential hidden dangers." In Chinese political discourse, this term specifically refers to risks that could undermine social stability or national security. The spread of Christianity in universities is often viewed through the lens of "Western infiltration" (西方渗透) or a challenge to the Marxist ideological monopoly.

↩ [2] 全能神 (Quánnéng Shén): "The Almighty God," also known as Eastern Lightning. This is a heterodox religious movement banned in China as a xie jiao (邪教, "evil cult"). It is frequently cited in Chinese social science as a case study for why tight state regulation of the religious market is necessary to prevent social disorder.

↩ [3] 于光远 (Yú Guāngyuǎn): A prominent Chinese Marxist theorist, economist, and polymath. He was a vice-president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and a key architect of the reform and opening-up period. Influenced by Friedrich Engels' Dialectics of Nature, he was instrumental in establishing "Natural Dialectics" as a formal academic discipline in China to promote the scientific worldview.

↩ [4] 任继愈 (Rèn Jìyù): A renowned Chinese scholar of religion and philosophy who served as the curator of the National Library of China. He is famous for his thesis that Confucianism functioned as a religion in traditional Chinese society and for his lifelong dedication to Marxist atheism. The research association bearing his name focuses on the history of Chinese thought and the promotion of secularism.
