With the aim to promote a sense of Chinese identity among students, a new law requires Hong Kong public schools to raise the Chinese flag and sing China natio
Hong Kong public schools are now required to raise the Chinese flag and sing China's national anthem, according to a new law.
The law's purpose is to foster a sense of Chinese identity among students, but the practice has been described by experts as 'dangerous' and 'ineffective'.
A government statement cited by American international broadcaster Voice of America (VOA) said the aim of the policy is to promote national education and help students develop a sense of belonging to the country, an affinity for the Chinese people, and enhance their sense of national identity.
