Hong Kong authorities have outlawed a popular protest song from being played or sung on school grounds, on the same day Beijing’s national security agents set up an office in the Chinese-ruled city.
Hong Kong’s education secretary Kevin Yeung stated on July 8 that “political propaganda activities” shouldn’t be allowed in schools. He characterized such activities as: “to play, sing, or broadcast any songs” that “disrupt normal operations in schools, affect students’ emotions, or contain political messages.”
