"This is a phenomenon of the collective loss of sense," they said, urging a return to Confucianism.

Chinese students complaining about collective mind control.....maybe they should study Chinese history??

Western festivals like Christmas and Valentine's Day have been enthusiastically embraced by Chinese retailers and young people alike in recent years.

Confusing Christmas with commercialism? Name me a student who hasn't complained about that at one time or another.

They want to return to Confucianism? Be careful what you wish for, be very careful.
