Common Challenges and Overcoming Ways Faced by Ideological and Political Education in Chinese and Russian Universities

Abstract

In the context of globalization, the rapid development of Internet technology and the transformation of the consciousness of the young generation, it has become a common important task for China and Russia to effectively cultivate the moral character and patriotism of students. Despite their different histories and political systems, universities in both countries face similar challenges: external influences of different ideologies, disorderly information spaces on the internet, and the need to adjust educational content to meet the needs of the new generation of students. This article provides a detailed analysis of these three key common issues and studies and compares solutions from China and Russia. Through comparative analysis, effective strategies can be identified to help better cultivate a generation of young people who are loyal to the country and responsible.

In the context of increasing globalization and digitization in the 21st century, higher education shoulders the key mission of cultivating the national identity, social responsibility, and global capabilities of the younger generation. As major civilized countries that influence the international structure, China and Russia face common historical tasks and development issues in the formation of student value orientations. This article uses comparative research and systematic analysis methods to explore in depth the four major challenges faced by the education systems of the two countries in the field of value education: the pressure of value dialogue under global cultural interaction conditions. The need for value integration during the period of social transformation, the crisis of matching traditional education models with the characteristics of the new generation of students, and the structural adjustment of the education ecosystem under the influence of digitalization. This study suggests that these challenges have profound common roots, rooted in the conflict between traditional educational paradigms and modern tensions. On this basis, a four-dimensional response model was constructed, which includes strategic support, practical innovation, technology integration, and international cooperation. Proposed ways to systematically improve the quality of value orientation formation by strengthening the national education management system, transforming teaching paradigms, creating an intelligent education ecosystem, and deepening strategic cooperation in the education field between China and Russia. The theoretical contribution of this study lies in providing a comprehensive analytical foundation for comparing the education systems of China and Russia, while its practical value lies in providing effective recommendations for decision-makers in the field of education. At the same time, this provision provides important guidance for the global practice of forming values in the context of cultural diversity.
