Notes

↩ [1] 意识形态阵地 (yìshitìng tài zhèndì): Translated as "ideological fronts." In CPC discourse, "fronts" refers to specific sectors (media, academia, schools, etc.) where the Party must maintain ideological leadership to prevent the influence of opposing paradigms.

↩ [2] 农村留守青少年 (nóngcūn liúshǒu qīngshàonián): "Rural left-behind youth" refers to children who remain in rural areas while their parents migrate to urban centers for work. This demographic is often highlighted in Chinese sociology as being vulnerable to social and psychological challenges.

↩ [3] 新疆 (Xīnjiāng): The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. In the context of "scientific atheism" and the "New Era," this refers to policies aimed at countering religious extremism through secular education and the promotion of Marxist materialism.

↩ [4] 杨鲍安 (Yáng Bào'ān): Referring to Yang Pao-an (1896–1931), one of the earliest disseminators of Marxism in China and an influential figure in the early history of the CPC, known for his writings on historical materialism.

↩ [5] 邪教 (xiéjiào): Translated here as "cults" (often rendered as "evil cults" or "heterodox teachings"). In the Chinese legal and political context, this refers to organizations classified as illegal and socially harmful, most notably groups like Falun Gong.

↩ [6] 中华民族共同体意识 (Zhōnghuá mínzú gòngtóngtǐ yìshí): "Sense of community for the Chinese nation." This is a key policy concept in the New Era regarding ethnic affairs, emphasizing a shared national identity over specific ethnic identities to maintain national unity (铸牢, "forging" or "strengthening").
