As of last fall, Chinese universities still required their students to study:
  • Philosophical Principles of Marxism 马克思主义哲学原理

  • Principles of Marxist Politics and Economics 马克思主义政治经济学原

  • Introduction to Maoist Thought 毛泽东思想概论

  • Introduction to Deng Xiaoping Theory 邓小平理论概论

  • Modern World Politics and Economics 当代世界政治与经济
If that weren't bad enough, Deng Xiaoping Theory includes Jiang Zemin's 3 Represents 三个代表 (Let's see, who are they? There's Larry, Moe, and--wait, maybe it's Huey, Dewey, and--no, it's the father, the son, and--no, that's not it, either. I give up). On the other hand, let's not complain about the last one. We're moving up in the Chinese world, at any rate.

Update

Stefan Landsberger's Jiang Zemin Theory posters.
