celebrate the police!

Because that's what they're told to do.

Welcome to China Uncensored, I'm Chris Chappell.

Remember Hong Kong—the city that  used to be at least somewhat free,  

until the Chinese Communist Party  pushed through a National Security Law?

“Critics say [the law] effectively curtails  protest and freedom of speech—China  

has said it will return stability.”

I say, why not both? If the  people keep their heads down  

and their mouths shut, everything will be stable.

And it's about time the younger generation  learned how to behave like *this.*

China passed the Hong Kong  National Security Law on June 30,  

2020. It was the Chinese Communist Party's  solution to more than a year of protests.

The law gives tremendous leeway for authorities  to crack down on dissent in Hong Kong.  

They can arbitrarily arrest anyone  using the National Security Law.

A lot of people have been concerned, because  “The law is a vague catchall, creating broadly  

worded crimes that could land people in jail  for playing a song or uttering a slogan.”

Yeah, it's too vague. And that's why  Hong Kong authorities are putting extra  

care into making sure the law can be properly  explained to the city's impressionable youth.

“Let's learn about National Security.”

That's clever. If you make it into a cartoon,  it's much easier to get kids to pay attention.

“The National Security Law,  

a national law, has been listed in Annex  III to the Basic Law according to Article  

18 of the Basic Law and applied by way  of promulgation in the Hong Kong SAR.”

Wow, nevermind about getting kids to pay  attention. It's like Hong Kong authorities  

watched The Garfield Show , and asked themselves:  “Yes, but can we make a cartoon even worse?”

So yeah, the National Security cartoon  got cancelled after the pilot episode.  

But there are still plenty of ways for Hong Kong  authorities to “educate” the next generation.

In fact, since February this year, the school  curriculum across Hong Kong adjusted to ingrain  

the 4 criminalized acts: secession, subversion,  terrorism, and collusion with foreign forces.

And on April 15th, Hong Kong celebrated its very  first annual National Security Education Day! 

National Security Education Day was  introduced to Mainland China back in 2015. 

And now that Hong Kong has its own National  Security Law, they can celebrate, too.

At Hong Kong's Police College,  “groups of elementary school-aged  

children could enjoy a kind of  riot-police-theme-park experience.”

Complete with all your favorite rides!

Like: Hostile Foreign Forces of the Carribean.

Pepper Spray Mountain.

And It's a Small World That's Belonged  to China Since Ancient Times...After All.

OK, they didn't actually have rides. But you  *could* take a photo with your favorite mascot,  

the hero who solved the Hong Kong protests.

And what kind of theme park would  be complete without a parade?

Including your friendly  neighborhood goose-stepping police!

Hearts and minds, people. Hearts and minds...

is where they stab you with their bayonets.

And authorities also put on  this cute anti-terrorism drill.

Where police open fire without  warning, and shoot everybody.

And for a more hands-on experience, they  also let the kids play with hand grenades.

And rocket launchers.

It's the kind of healthy nationalist  education all parents want for their children.

Play with guns! Shoot your friends!

Don't play with subversive figurines, kids.

Play with the official police ones.

Ah, memories.

Sweet, stinging memories.

The future of Hong Kong is in good hands.

And now it's time for me to answer a question from  a member of the China Uncensored 50 Cent Army—fans  

who support the show through the  crowd funding website Patreon.

Greig Fawcett asks: “Why can't the west bring down the great  

firewall and what could the CCP do in response?  Is the west too concerned about the big internet  

cables linking the world would be tampered  with by China, which would be a catastrophe?”

Good question, Greig. The West could bring  down the Great Firewall in just a few months—if  

America's big tech companies got behind it. The  problem isn't the internet cables. It's that  

companies like Google, Facebook, Oracle, and Apple  are all trying to get a share of the China market.  

Ultimately, they're all going to be screwed  by the CCP, but they just don't know it yet.

Instead, these companies could build tools that  help people in China and other dictatorships to  

subvert government firewalls. It would be  impossible to stop. People around the world  

would love these tech companies for promoting  freedom, instead of hating them for censoring  

speech in free countries. And they'd  make a lot more money that way, too.

If only they'd listen to my advice.

Instead of, you know, selling their  products to the Chinese police.

Thanks for your question, Greig.
