What does everyone think? AS a former Hong Kong citizien, I am deeply disturbed by the idea of Patrotic Education. Part of what made Hong Kong so great is its freedom of idea and great economical freedom. Without that, Hong Kong is just an island.

Would you expect anything less from the chinese? They claim HK as part of china, now they want to make sure the citizens are brainwashed from an early age to think just like the home grown docile subjects on the mainland. I don't think this is surprising in the least.

Given the crap americans allow to be fed into their brainpans, they have no right to go around using the word "brainwash" as a pejorative.

Well, the Hong Kong people were able to fight back the 23 rules back in 2003. Who know what will happen this time.

Within 50 years, Red China will become the Fourth Reich and must be stopped at all costs.

You constantly manage to raise the bar of stupidity with each of your posts. That's quite an amazing feat, considering the extraordinary level of stupidity you started with.

A lot of people say America already is the 4th Reich...

And when you consider many of our leaders today are directly tied to building the financial district in Germany during the rise of Hitlet you can understand why they would say that. They put flouride in their water, we now put flouride in our water. They practiced new age religion, we have had a huge push in new age in the past 30-50 years. They started wars with countries barely able to field a walking army, we likewise do that now.

You need to wake up.

Fiancee's brothers wife is from China. She is in her 40s. As a child the army would wake them up and make then run across the fields in their bare feet while reciting lines from their red book. They are communist, of course they need to indoctrinate from a young age to keep power.

This is what conservatives do as well (see: Texas rightwing schoolboard trying to rewrite history books to suit the conservative narrative rather than the truth). Stop throwing stones in glass houses.
