Notes

↩ [1] 中华民族共同体意识 (Zhōnghuá mínzú gòngtóngtǐ yìshí): This term refers to the "consciousness of the community of the Chinese nation," a key concept in the New Era's ethnic policy. It emphasizes the shared identity of all 56 ethnic groups in China as a single, unified national entity, aimed at strengthening national unity and resisting separatist influences.

↩ [2] 儒教 (Rújiào): Translated here as "Confucianism," but specifically referring to the religious or quasi-religious dimensions of the Confucian tradition (sometimes called "the Confucian religion"). In the context of atheist studies, it is often critiqued alongside traditional organized religions for its ritualistic and metaphysical claims.

↩ [3] 膜拜团体 (móbài tuántǐ): Literally "cultic groups" or "worship groups." In Chinese social science and legal contexts, this is a broader term often used to describe groups that employ "mind control" or coercive persuasion, distinct from the legal category of "heterodox teachings" (邪教 xiéjiào, often translated as "evil cults") which are officially banned by the state.
