HK Authorities Impose National Security Education, Teaching How to Discern "Fake News"
On April 22, 2021, more details on "national security education" have been revealed by the Education Bureau in Hong Kong.
The curricula cover 8 subjects including Chinese, information technology, business, and accounting.
According to the latest subject framework documents, at least 4 subjects require students to be able to identify "false information" and "fake news".
Primary-level general studies now require senior students to understand the potential impact on national security from "fake news" and other incorrect information.
At the secondary level, ICT curricula in Form 4-6 requires teachers to work with students to analyze "actual cases of false information spread by newspapers", in order to understand the consequences of spreading false information.
According to the Form 4-6 ICT national security subject framework, students must "understand the impact of false information on individuals, society, and even national security". They must learn to "discern truth from false information", so as to increase "awareness in obeying the national security law", thus nurturing students to "become proactive and responsible citizens."
The subject framework proposes a study on "the veracity of information", where students break into groups to research online information assigned by the teacher, and discuss different methods to determine whether it is true or false; as well as evaluating the impact on society of spreading false information.

China Schools Teach Students to "Correctly" Understand Ukraine Crisis; Taiwanese Scholars Warn of CCP Legitimizing Aggression on Taiwan
Schools across China are hosting lesson planning workshops for their teachers, so that they can teach students to "correctly understand" the recent developments in Ukraine.
A notice from Shandong education department noted that these workshops are intended for teachers of "political thinking classes", to help them "correctly understand the principles, position, and line to take" regarding the Ukraine crisis, so that they can "guide the thoughts" of their students.
These courses are hosted by The "Hand-in-Hand Lesson Preparation Center for National Ideological and Political Classes".
Chinese Scholars: Can't Judge Russia-Ukraine crisis as Simply Right or Wrong
In one such workshop in Shanxi, a teacher asked how to educate primary and secondary school students in international relations, and how to answer questions regarding whether Russia's war against Ukraine is justified.
Answering the question was professor Xia Yong-Lin from Xidian University's School of Humanities. He said that the Russia-Ukraine crisis cannot "be judged as simply right or wrong": "under the American-led international order, in an environment [filled with] arrogant hegemony and hysteria without fairness, it is meaningless to get caught up in questions of justice."
Liu Li-Bo, Vice-chair of the School of Maxism at Shaanxi Normal University, emphasized proactively instill thoughts that are in line with mainstream ideology and national policy. "If students in primary and secondary schools were led astray, it's difficult to straighten them up again."
Professor Wang Yong-Zhi Northwest University added that teachers must make the connection with national revival. Teachers must clearly tell students that China is facing the greatest challenge since its economic reform, and the country needs students to have an even greater sense of nationalism and responsibility.
CCP Aims to Legitimize Future Taiwan Invasion, Taiwanese Scholars warns
In Taiwan, Wang Zhi-Sheng, Secretary General of China Asia-Pacific Elite Exchange Association, pointed out two objectives for China's systematic and unified indoctrination of its "truth" of the Ukrainian conflict. For one, they aimed to whitewash Russia's aggression and drum up support in China. The more concerning objective, however, was to portray Russia's situation as being "backed into a corner" before taking military action; this implied that China may also be "backed into a corner" in the future, and become "forced" to use its military against Taiwan.
Lin Xian-Shen, head of the Department of East Asian Studies at National Taiwan Normal University, pointed out that Putin's narrative considers Ukraine to be part of Russia. Similarly, the Chinese Communist Party considered Taiwan to be part of China, and could thus use the same justifications to rally popular support for aggression against Taiwan. If the Chinese people supports Russia's invasion of Ukraine, it would naturally also support a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, he said.
