The Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China in February 2020 published the "standards for ideological and political education, language, and history in secondary vocational schools," and announced that history will be the first one among these three subjects to become a compulsory part of secondary vocational education, starting from the fall of 2020. The Ministry asserted that the ultimate goal of such attempt is to promote the stability and lasting reign of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese state, emphasizing that history textbooks hold a great deal of strategic significance for the great revival of the Chinese nation. This paper examines the "standards for history education in secondary vocational schools (2020)," and reviews issues associated with the descriptions of Korean history in the current history textbooks of secondary vocational schools, History of China and World History. This study also analyzes how these textbooks describe Korean history, in comparison to The Outline of Chinese and Foreign History (中外歷史綱要), the standard history textbook for general high schools which was published after the country adopted government-issued textbooks when President Xi Jinping began his second term in office. It can be said that Korea accounts for larger shares in History of China and World History for secondary vocational schools, compared to the history textbook used by general high schools, of which descriptions of Korea have been significantly reduced since 2001 when China standardized its textbooks. Further, unlike The Outline of Chinese and Foreign History, these two textbooks have sections dedicated to "ancient Joseon (Korea)," put "Joseon (Korea)" before Japan, and include positive narratives about cultural exchanges between Korea and China. It is worth noting that the textbooks suggest that ancient Korea made a significant contribution to cultural development and that Korean culture was conveyed to China. These run counter to the general trend observed in the Chinese academia, in which research on cultural history―focused on China-centered cultural diffusion― is increasing rapidly and the research outcomes are being incorporated into the textbooks. The Outline of Chinese and Foreign History displays an inherent inconsistency in some parts, and different perceptions of history that do not match those of the country's previous textbooks. Such a gap is expected to serve as an example that can clearly show how China's historical perception has changed after President Xi Jinping took power and the country shifted to government-approved textbooks.
