New York University’s degree-granting Shanghai campus quietly added a Chinese “civic education” course last year at the behest of the Chinese government, which included a visit to a monument commemorating a close advisor of Mao Zedong and screenings of video lessons like “Promoting the Prosperity and Development of Socialist Culture with Chinese Characteristics,” according to multiple students and a copy of the course's syllabus.

The course was not listed on the university's class registration system; several students told Motherboard that they were informed of the course's existence by the university via WeChat, China's most popular chat app.
