Communism in the Classroom

China wants the world to forget about its political takeover of Hong Kong, but we’ll try to keep you as informed as we can. The latest news is the imposition of a Communist Party-friendly curriculum in the city’s schools.
On Saturday the Education Bureau said it will no longer recognize the Hong Kong Professional Teachers’ Union, which has 95,000 members and is more a guild than a union in the American sense. The Education Bureau says the union has been “engaging in political propaganda under the guise of being a professional education organisation.” But authorities’ real fear is that teachers will resist imposing Beijing’s “patriotic education” on Hong Kong students.

"The Hong Kong ... government has unwavering determination in and a clear stance against any advocacy of 'Taiwan independence', and fully supports the central government's resolute determination in safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity," Hong Kong chief executive John Lee said in a statement on the government's website.
