National socialist images of a sacred bloodline have become a feature of [[CCP]] ideology. Su Jingzhuang, from the Central Party School, wrote an article on Xi Jinping Thought in the ''Study Times'', arguing: "Red genes are a genetic factor that has taken root in the body of our party and flows through the blood vessels of CCP cadres; they [form] the spiritual lineage of the Chinese races’ coexistence and co-prosperity, and [they are] a core political advantage in realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."<ref>https://archive.ph/PsH7T</ref>
