Notes

↩ [1] 农村 (nóngcūn): While translated as "rural areas," in Chinese Marxist sociology, this refers specifically to the agricultural sector and its resident population under the household registration (hukou) system. Atheist education in these regions is often linked to the "rural revitalization" strategy and the suppression of "feudal superstition" (封建迷信).

↩ [2] 绝对忠诚 (juéduì zhōngchéng): A core political requirement within the New Era, particularly for the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). It emphasizes that the military's loyalty is not to the state in the abstract but specifically and absolutely to the Party leadership.

↩ [3] 非基督教运动 (Fēi Jīdūjiào Yùndòng): The Anti-Christian Movement (roughly 1922–1927) was a major intellectual and social movement in China. It was driven by nationalist and Marxist intellectuals who viewed Christianity as a tool of Western imperialism and a hindrance to scientific progress.

↩ [4] 跨境民族 (kuàjìng mínzú): Transnational or cross-border ethnic groups. This refers to ethnic minorities whose populations live on both sides of China's international borders (e.g., the Hmong/Miao or Jingpo). In the context of "Internet Christianity," this is often a focus of "border security" (边疆安全) and religious management concerns.

↩ [5] 世俗基金主义 (shìsú jījīn zhǔyì): This appears to be a distinctive translation choice in the original text for "Secular Fundamentalism." The Chinese term 基金主义 is a non-standard rendering of "Fundamentalism" (ordinarily 基要主义 jīyào zhǔyì), likely used here to emphasize the structured or institutionalized nature of secularist movements mentioned in Cimino's work.
