My guess is that the Marx courses aren’t well attended.

China offers its undergraduates a deep dive into the Western mind–Greek, Latin, and Continental European (although there also are a couple of offerings on John Rawls). Why? China appreciates Western creativity and wants to learn the trick. China’s hierarchical society doesn’t foster creativity (that is, tolerate the eccentrics and oddballs who discover things like General Relativity) as well as the West, to be sure. But learning the philosophy and music of the West is the next best thing.

As long as the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church requires their priests to learn Latin/Greek, I would say that would keep the Classics alive. Just like during the Medieval Times.

Oh why not?

The former USSR has a greater degree of moral freedom than the USA.
