Hong Kong schools have been ordered to display the Chinese flag and sing the Chinese national anthem as the city begins enforcing a controversial anthem law

The legislation, called the "National Anthem Ordinance," states that anyone who insults or commercially misuses China's national anthem — March of the Volunteers — can be punished with fines of up to HK$50,000 , or up to three years in prison., though ultimately it passed through Hong Kong's legislature by a vote of 41 votes in favor and one against. Mainland China already has similar laws in place.

According to the new guidelines, the Chinese national anthem must be sung during celebrations in honor of New Year's Day, the anniversary of the city's handover to China on July 1, and the National Day on October 1. Schools are also "strongly advised" to do so on "important days and special occasions" like open days and graduation ceremonies.

"This is part of moral, civic, and national education, and helps enhance students' sense of national identity," an Education Bureau spokespersonSchools have also been told to investigate incidences where students or teachers are found to have disrespected China's national anthem and should call the police if necessary, according to theWhile Hong Kong operates under "one country, two systems" and has more autonomy than the rest of the country, recent legislation from...

that’s ridiculous. You know why? Because none of the HongKongers love China and we don’t treat China as our Country. China colonised HK!

不要乱用图,如果香港有少年先锋队,就不会有现在这种状况

This is unforgivably sick, respect is earned, what CCP doings are merely disgraceful. They are either stupid or anti humanity.

CCP is insane. It been setting up pro- Beijing power ever since the 97. It never think of complying any promises. : “High autonomous”? CCP: yup but with China characteristics HongKong fell into the hands of these quality of puppet high level officials. Such a tragedy.

Our next generation... Poor kids... boycottChina before it is too late.

CCP starts brainwashing in HK education. It is very very worrying. StandWithHongKong

Under pressure from the People’s Republic of China's increasingly authoritarian approach, Hong Kong🇭🇰 is losing its freedom.

🇨🇳😈

What we want is democracy and freedom, not CCPChina ! FightForFreedom StandWithHongKong FreeHongKong NewWestBerlin policebrutality ccpsecuritylaw

The way of CCP or hk gov solving problem: ❌confront it and deal with it ✅ brainwashing the kids ✅ ‘deal with’ the ones who raise problems

Anything wrong in playing national anthem in Hong Kong?

Wendi11721494 Brain-washing to HKers Education bureau has directly instruct schools to educate the correct Political POV of CCPChina and deprieve any logical or reasonable arguments of students to think otherwise. StandwithHK

Oh my lord... HongKong may become a republished China and prohibit all the freedom appearances. CCP

Brainwashing...😡 SOSHK FreeHongKong NationalSecurityLaw

Only one direction of education. Hong Kong start here in only have one kind of thinking! Speechless.... airhead goodluck

Only purpose of this law is make the totalitarian regime feeling better, it can not change the students minds, it’s just annoying. CCP HongKong

If people truly love their homeland and love a person, not necessary to do anything, especially impose a LAW. 5DemandsNot1Less StandWithHongKong

The Spoon-Fed System is not crazy enough but to carry out the NationalAnthemLaw

China style brainwashing has already invaded Hong Kong's school CCP_is_terrorist

Meanwhile students don’t actually have to go to schools on 1/7 or 1/10. The EDB is just a silly madafooka. StandWithHongKong

It's a crime to mock police as Hong Kong is a police state. RTHK's Headliner is the first to be stopped & more will be coming as CCP tyranny is using white terror trying to silence dissent. They also want to brainwash students.

Exactly what a totalitarian country does. Brainwashing its people and removing opposition.

Brainwashing is coming

When I was a kid, I was taught how to sing the Chinese national anthem. I am ok with that and I did not love my so called motherland more because of that. But seeing how our education authority tries to enact a patriotic pracrice in schools is simply disgusting.

And school principals should report whoever refused to sing to the Police according to the Education Department. This is Cultural Revolution 2.0.

It is not illegal for singing Chinese National Anthem It is illegal for singing other political songs like Glory to Hong Kong freedom of politic? Absent You could only be sided with China StandWithHongKong

Brainwashing our next generation! We should unite and prevent Hong Kong become the next CHINA! StandWithHongKong HongKongProtests HKPoliceTerrorists PoliceBrutality NationalSecurityLaw

And replace the God with Emperor Xi’s

LMAO. Just invade HongKong with more China immigrants, and murder HongKongers all, turn it into a straight Chinese city. Why bother slow cooking us? FightForFreedom StandWithHongKong

This is brain washing!!

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

So finally the authoritarian regime is decided to modify our next generations to become ignorant patriots. And this will be the start of the fall of a nation because it's filled with people with no critical thinking & correct values set StandWithHongKong FreeHongKong

This kind of decoration & heartless anthem wouldn't lead students to love their country, vice versa it would enlarge their disrespectful to the ruler. Don't think HK students are same as Mainland students who were brainwashed by CCP since born.

😡

HK gov is authoritarian to brainwash the student in HK.

Brainwashing the kids to be extreme nationalists

So... When HK POPO kick away the Chinese flag, what should the students do?

Another way to try to brainwash the young generation. But it just won’t be successful.

As the Communist China understands that the authoritarianism won’t be able to earn respect from Hong Kong ppl, it desperately tries to brainwash our younger generations... & can CCP tell us the tragedy of Tian Han, the poor who wrote the lyrics of the anthem? StandWithHongKong

ok, Let's ready to wail while singing this rubbish song💁🏼‍♀️ CCP_is_terrorist StandwithHK

This is outrageous Isn’t it the cultural revolution now? OneCountryOneSystem

The school will be a place to brain wash students, but not a place for students to speak freely.

The school in Hong Kong has become a manufacturing workshop to transform Hong Kong students into slaves of the CCP😣

It is sarcastic that the lyricist of the Chinese national anthem was died in jail when he was criticized as a counter-revolutionary. This is Communist China. BoycottChineseProducts StandWithHongKong

So naively thinking that the students will become patriotic after signing serval times of Chinese anthem (not HongKong ‘s ). Being patriotic is not about indoctrination but treating the citizens as human kinds, providing fundamental human rights and freedom for them.

Yes! Yes! Long overdue

Because HK is a Chinese city. Period.

Communist Chinese cannot think beyond the whip to Impose Patriotism ! Will prove Counter productive.

The US have been pledging allegiance and flying the flag for decades. The MSM didn't get excited about that.

Aren't the children singing the Star-Spangled Banner and hang the Star-Spangled Banner?

Hong Kong belongs to China. So they sing the Chinese national anthem. Hawaii is 3000 miles off the Coast of the USA. What anthem do they sing? How far is the Falkland Islands from England? What anthem do they sing? Are you people really this stupid?

Kneel during it if you want to fuck with them.

It’s not even 2050 yet 👩‍🦯👩‍🦯👩‍🦯👩‍🦯

Trump and Pompeo betrayed Hong Kong- This is on them.

Same thing coming to canada with trudeau in charge

Anything wrong? Display our own country's flag and sing our own national anthem? Are you out of your mind?
