The Asahi Shimbun quoted Xinhua News Agency on the 23rd as a test to measure the understanding of Xi Jinping's thoughts on journalists engaged in editorial work in major newspapers and TVs.

If you do not pass the exam, you will not be issued a reporter card, and you will not be able to do any work.

Chinese journalists need to renew their press cards every five years.

Since 2014, mandatory examinations have been mandated for reporters' ethics, but the test adds Xi's political ideology: Xi Jinping's New Age Chinese Characteristic Socialist Thought.

The test is conducted using the Chinese Communist Party's educational app `` Shei Chang Guo '' (Learning Power) to inform the members of Xi's ideas.

100 questions will be selected from among the choices listed, and you will need to score 80 or more to pass.

The exercises presented in the Chassischango include a question by Mr. Xi and the choice of what is right with the ideas of the party.

The question of choosing the essential characteristics and superiority of Chinese characteristic socialism is the right answer.

The Chinese government describes the purpose of the test as "to raise the awareness of journalists to follow the rules."

A Chinese reporter said, "I feel the pressure from the party and the government is gradually increasing."
