Why the Marxism degree is favored by college students in China?

7/10/2022
In recent years, one particular degree really caught our attention:the Marxism degree. Usually, students with such postgraduate degrees did not have many career options open to them as this can be a rather niche major, at least this was the case before Xi became president in 2012 when china emphasised more on economic development rather than ideological correctness.
