Hong Kongers reject Mainland national education, oppose brainwashing

Black day for national education as Tamar site is swamped
Campaign leaders insist Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying withdraw plans to introduce national education - branded a brainwashing tool to be used by Beijing to indoctrinate future generations - but agreed to a meeting proposed by Leung yesterday afternoon provided it was held in public. Leung's office informed protesters that he was willing to resolve the crisis through "dialogue without preconditions".

Hong Kong sees surge of democratic fervor after 'patriotic education' showdown

Vote to maintain Hong Kong's identity
Emphasising Hong Kong's identity is not anti-national. It simply acknowledges that it has special characteristics derived from history and Cantonese traditions that it wants to preserve. It is hard to see how Hong Kong can retain its own legal and other systems once the border with Shenzhen dissolves. Hong Kong's special position is based on relations with the outside world, not on its most immediate neighbour. Integrated, Hong Kong will be a second- or even third-tier city in China, the Trieste or Tangier of the nation. Go vote against that.
