Yes! the Chinese communist party propaganda apparatus is in full swing, publicizing the 8 glories and 8 shames of President Hu Jintao as announced on March 18 under Chinese draws up code of conduct. He is promoting cleaner living as part of the answer to corruption and cynicism. So compliments of an article by Edward Cody in the Washington Post entitled "Eight-step program for what ails China", here they are:
Love the motherland, do not harm it
Serve ,don't disserve the motherland
Uphold science, don't be ignorant and unenlightened
Work hard, don't be lazy
Be united and help each other, don't benefit at the expense of others
Be honest, not profit-mongering
Be disciplined and law-abiding, not chaotic and lawless
Know plain living and hard struggle, do not wallow in luxuries.
This is going to be a cinch for the school kids - now all they have to worry about is getting the businessmen and government officials to abide by it.
