Hong Kong is marking its first “National Security Education Day” aimed at promoting a sweeping law that Beijing imposed on the semi-autonomous territory last year.
Children as young as three years old were among those learning about the national security law on Thursday, according to the South China Morning Post, while authorities invited people across the city to create “mosaic walls” with messages of support or smiling pictures of themselves at cultural centres and schools.
Hong Kong police meanwhile unveiled a new goose-step march in the mainland Chinese style, replacing British-style foot drills from the time the city was ruled by the United Kingdom until its 1997 handover to China.
