China's National Museum today opened an exhibition to mark the 200th birth anniversary of Karl Marx, as the ruling Communist Party is celebrating the day in a big way reiterating its adherence to the German philosopher's socialist ideology.
Marxism has strong influence in China where students begin learning the theories of Marx and Lenin in middle school.
China, the world's second-largest economy after the US, has seen decades of market-driven growth.
The exhibition titled "The Power of Truth" features Marx's life, Chinese versions of Marxism and Marxism-themed contemporary art.
