Man atrodo, kad šiuo atveju tiktu 'ėjimas ratais'. Turint galvoje, kad lietuviška 'oficiozinis' reikšmė - bent šiame kontekte - skiriasi nuo bendrai priimtosios, siūlyčiau:
'ideologically tainted literature'

Kowtow is derived from Chinese koutou, with kou meaning 'knock' and tou meaning 'head'. The original sense of the term as used in China involved knocking (or at least touching) one's forehead to the ground while kneeling in front of a religious shrine or a person, in order to express worship and obedience or to show respect, reverence, and utter submission to someone higher than oneself in the social order.
