Chauvinism Or Cajolery?:
Patriotic Rhetoric in Textbooks for Primary Students Went Viral
Netizens shared texts from a new general studies textbooks, a mandatory subject in primary schools, and immediately went viral on the internet. On the matter of Hong Kong history, the book called British establishment of the Hong Kong colony as an "occupation", and stressed that Hong Kong, despite under the sovereignty of the UK, remained a "Chinese territory".
Critics questioned whether the curriculum was able provide students with an impartial and accurate view of history, calling the move political by pointing to Vladivostok, a Russian occupied territory of China only since Late Qing.
Editor's Note:
Hong Kong's mandatory education system is a two tier-system. About 5-6 years old, children will be enrolled into primary school and would study there for 6 years, after which they will study at secondary schools for 6 more years. Usually children will enroll in pre-class or kindergarten before primary school.
