That is the clear message sent by a top Party official in an editorial published on November 14 in the ''[[Global Times]]'', the international version of People’s Daily, the official newspaper and mouthpiece of the CPC."<ref>[https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/asia/item/19567-china-s-communist-party-reaffirms-marxism-maoism-atheism China’s Communist Party Reaffirms Marxism, Maoism, Atheism], New American, 2014</ref>}}
