Hong Kong unveils bill making mocking of China's anthem a crime

Critics say proposal that includes jail terms of up to three years and hefty fines raises fears over freedom of speech.

Hong Kong has introduced a controversial bill to legislators that makes mocking the Chinese national anthem a criminal offence, with punishments of hefty fines and up to three years in jail.

The proposal, which was tabled in Hong Kong's legislative council on Wednesday, has angered critics in the global financial hub who fear the measure could be used to undermine freedom of expression in the city.

China's Communist Party leaders have striven to instil greater patriotism in the former British colony at a time of heightened tension between democracy activists and forces loyal to Beijing, with some in Hong Kong even advocating independence from China.

The anthem proposal is expected to pass easily when it comes to a vote - expected to take place around mid-2019 - as the opposition does not have enough seats to block routine legislation.

Besides imprisonment, the measure would prescribe a maximum fine of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars ($6,373) for those who publicly and intentionally disrespect the anthem, the March of the Volunteers.

It also extends to schoolchildren, including pupils of international schools, who would be legally required to learn the song.

"I think teachers would feel worried about this proposal, because if we allow this government to pass a law to instruct the teachers what to teach, well, this time it is for the national anthem, maybe next time it could be other things," Simon Hung, a 36-year-old secondary school teacher, told Reuters news agency.

Basically:
The British turn some random island into one of the wealthiest cities on Earth.
As soon as control is given to non-whites, everything goes to shit.

Human history in a nutshell.

Are you handicapped? Hong Kong growth exploded post 1997. It's richer than ever before.

(((growth)))

Good. I hope they harvest every jew they can put their hand on.

To be fair though Britain is even worse off speech-wise.

To be honest, freedom of speech hasn't gotten Americans anything except bestiality porn, crucifixes in urine and alphabet agency surveillance for the people that say anything interesting. Good for China for learning from the numerous mistakes of top goyim.

Teachers are the first to kvetch of course.

but can you burn a chinese flag?

Yeah, and Hong Kong's growth was exploding pre 1997 too. If anything, 1997 put a damper on growth
Don't be disingenuous.
Hong Kong's wealth and freedom and quality of life are entirely down to the historical and cultural legacy of its British rulers

And as for this. Yeah, no shit its richer than ever before, we are living 20 years in the future from 1997, after the huge revolution that was the Internet.
The entire world is richer than ever before.
The fact that Hong Kong is richer than ever before would have happened regardless of whether the British ruled over it or not.

Good. No citizen should be allowed to belittle their host country. All dissidents should be killed on sight.

Shenzhen ( abeijing pet project) has grown more quickly than Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is a parasite that leeches off mainland economic expansion. It just buys low and sells higher goods it could never manufacture. It should not be biting the hand that it leeches from. Sucking is enough.

Yeah it's pretty hard to compete with a country of 1.4 billion.
Honestly, the Europeans biggest mistake was allowing countries like China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh etc to exist.
They should have D&C balkanised those countries big time so they wouldn't have any major competition in the future.

The Europeans biggest mistake was to suck the jews penis. The result can be witnessed now.

One can not blame the Chinese or any other nation to seek the interest of their people and countries. It is not the fault of the Chinese, that the western worlds governments are traitors to their nations and their people are retarded, that killed the only people that could have saved them.

kek

Good. That those countries exist. It removes the dream of migration from wartorn countries and global domination of cabal. If whites fail, they will resist.

Don't believe a single word of it.

China should do everything opposite of what Western shills cry for in China. Just filter the double negative attempts and implement the rest of them. They don't have to do much after all, as they already go opposite of west in most matters.

and not the draconian social score thing that they force everyone to do which is associated with their credit scores and government benefits?
they've been basically done for for a long time, barring a violent and effective revolution to cause a regime change

Wtf are they talking about. How could anyone say something so cucked in earnest?

the bottom line is chinese people love their servitude. they are completely different to other races in this respect. they should do what they want but they need to be quarantined somehow; they are a danger to themselves and to others.

It's probably asia's biggest port hub due to natural currents leading there and high depth in the port itself.
