The Chinese town ‘pioneering’ virtual reality to stiffen Communist Party loyalty

Qingyang, home to just 35,000 people, has spent US$110,000 building a VR centre to test cadres on their party knowledge.

Township party secretary Duan Shuguo said cadres first watched a documentary about communist heroes before putting on headsets to answer a series of questions on a wide range of content, from party theory and conduct to discipline.

Duan said the room was completed in April and the local government worked with a studio to produce the virtual reality scenarios.
