The Wudang Mountain Taoist Academy held a flag-raising ceremony for the five-starred red flag and concentrated on watching the live broadcast, vowing to "listen to the Party and follow the Party."

The Party branch of the China Buddhist Academy organized all teachers, students, staff, and employees at the Fayuan Temple in Beijing and the Fenghuangling campus to watch the live broadcast together.

He also emphasized that the entire Party must strengthen its sense of caution and adhere to bottom-line thinking, "carry forward the fighting spirit, and enhance fighting capabilities," while coordinating "development" and "security."
