The Publicity Department and the Organization Department of the CCP Central Committee have issued a notice requiring the textbook to be studied within the CCP. At the same time, they also require all universities to use it as a “theoretical study textbook for teachers and students”.[1][2][3] The orders led party schools and universities to incorporate the book into their curricula.[4]: 21–26
