(Lam Yik Fei/The New York Times) A large-scale pro-democracy demonstration in Hong Kong on Jan. 1, 2020. Officials say the new curriculum should teach facts about Hong Kong and China’s recent development but should not ask students to analyze them. Hong Kong’s anti-government activists have also selectively deployed historical events to rally support. He had previously used stories about Hong Kong’s past to encourage students to analyze present-day issues. Instead, the record said, Hong Kong’s culture had “developed out of influence from central China.”Long-standing mentions of “liberal British rule” over Hong Kong also vanished in subsequent years.
