China Warns Dangerous "Western" Values

The Chinese Communist Party is worried about "Western" ideologies when still trying to maintain top-down political strategies. This came up because leader, Xi Jinping, is considering economic liberalization. A document that has not been published was made by the Central Committee General Office right underneath the party leader was voicing this concern.

The "western" ideals that are being talked about are causing tensions between different generations.
