Perfect rewards systems for cultural products.&#0160; &#0160;<\/p>\n<p>2) More state guidance for news and entertainment programs as well as the internet.&#0160; Ergo \u2013 the restrictions on TV programs.<\/p>\n<p>3) Heightened state funding to promote Chinese culture abroad.&#0160; Ergo (probably) \u2013 the full page advertising supplements that Chinese state media has been taking out in U.S. papers. &#0160;<\/p>\n<p>4) Nationalist efforts to appropriate traditional Chinese culture for Party purposes<\/p>\n<p>5) Heightened efforts to promote Party doctrine and traditional Chinese culture in schools<\/p>\n<p>Note two other things.&#0160; First, the statement doesn\u2019t entirely reject foreign culture. &#0160;It does call for Chinese authorities to actively absorb \u201coutstanding foreign cultural products.\u201d &#0160;But this is simply one paragraph buried in a 15-page document.<\/p>\n<p>Second, some of the content of the plenum statement parallels that found last year\u2019s<strong> <\/strong>\u53d1\u626c\u4f20\u7edf\u3001\u575a\u5b9a\u4fe1\u5ff5\u3001\u6267\u6cd5\u4e3a\u6c11 campaign in the political-legal apparatus (See Zhou Yongkang\u2019s speech\/Seeking Truth article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinapeace.org.cn\/ldhd\/2011-01\/16\/c_13693029.htm\" >here<\/a>). But moving it into the plenum statement definitely takes it up a notch.&#0160;<\/p>\n<p>Relevant sections from the plenum statement are included below (this is more just for my own future
