Marx Got It Right (Chinese: 马克思是对的) is a Chinese talk show commemorating the 200th birthday of Karl Marx (1818–1883). China Central Television ran the five-episode series from 27 April to 1 May 2018. The Communist Party of China's websites promoted the series, which is hosted by Wu Xuelan and features cartoons and anecdotes to describe Marx's theory of how society works.[1] [2]
Chris Buckley of The New York Times describes Marx Got It Right as "a slickly produced program that is part talk show, part indoctrination session – and a vivid illustration of the quirky efforts that the Communist Party under General Secretary Xi Jinping is making to win over China's millennials."[1]
