Communist Party officials in Hengyang City, Central China's Hunan Province, were forbidden from celebrating Western religious festivals including Christmas in a bid to "build confidence toward socialist culture and carry forward traditional Chinese culture."
According to a notice published by Hengyang Public Security Bureau on December 14, Party officials in Hengyang should "resist the rampant Western festival."
Their close relatives are also forbidden from participating in celebration of these festivals so as to build a good image of Party officials.
The notice also encouraged students to hold a rational attitude toward these festivals and stay away from them.
It added that anyone who sells and makes artificial snow during that time will receive a heavy fine.
Communism is based on mistaken ideas
