Last week, Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping visited the hometown of communist dictator Mao Zedong. It marked his third visit to the site in the 8 years since he took power.

During his trip, Xi told a group of primary students he met there that they should inherit and represent what he called the “red gene,”—refering to the communist ideology.
