The Chinese Communist regime first denies to its people that its military killed demonstrators protesting peacefully in Tiananmen Square, at most referring to it as the ‘June fourth incident’. Now the same regime is preparing new textbooks for Hong Kong which deny the territory was ever a British colony. A report in the South China Morning Post states that the new textbooks have also ‘adopted the government’s account of the 2019 social unrest in Hong Kong, saying it was a threat to national security and external forces were behind the protests.’
