Features: In all civilizations of recent times, no country's civilization has been more developed or advanced than that of China. Official culture was an important condition for the development and leading role of Chinese agricultural civilization in the world, but it also hindered China's transformation from an agricultural civilization to an industrial civilization. The modern variant of official culture is bureaucratic capitalism. A significant manifestation of official culture in contemporary society—its interference and destruction of socialist democracy—has thereby harmed the public ownership economy. Only with the development of socialism can official culture and bureaucratic capitalism be thoroughly criticized and overcome.
