China's education minister Yuan Guiren has warned that textbooks promoting Western values should not be used at universities in China, reports Hong Kong's Ming Pao newspaper.

Criticism of the Communist Party of China's leadership and socialism is not allowed in university classes and lecturers are prohibited to complain or express negative opinions to students. The control over the use of Western versions of textbooks has to be strengthened as well as opinions on the internet, Yuan said in an academic conference on improving ideological work in universities on Jan. 29.

Yuan's remarks sparked discussion on Weibo as netizens said Marxism and science are also from the Western world. They doubt China's future if universities are to be banned from exposing students to Western ideas, the paper said.

Let me tell you where else it's happening that you are unaware - that which is the beginning of the unity of the African states. Soon the continent will have what they never had before, and when that continent is healed and there is no AIDS and no major disease, they're going to want what you have. They're going to want houses and schools and an economy that works without corruption. They will be done with small-minded leaders who kill their populations for power in what has been called for generations "The History of Africa." Soon it will be the end of history in Africa, and a new continent will emerge.

Be aware that the strength may not come from the expected areas, for new leadership is brewing. There is so much land there and the population is so ready there, it will be one of the strongest economies on the planet within two generations plus 20 years. And it's going to happen because of a unifying idea put together by a few. These are the potentials of the planet, and the end of history as you know it.

In approximately 70 years, there will be a black man who leads this African continent into affluence and peace. He won't be a president, but rather a planner and a revolutionary economic thinker. He, and a strong woman with him, will implement the plan continent-wide. They will unite. This is the potential and this is the plan. Africa will arise out the ashes of centuries of disease and despair and create a viable economic force with workers who can create good products for the day. You think China is economically strong? China must do what it does, hobbled by the secrecy and bias of the old ways of its own history. As large as it is, it will have to eventually compete with Africa, a land of free thinkers and fast change. China will have a major competitor, one that doesn't have any cultural barriers to the advancement of the free Human spirit.. ...."
