7 Forbidden Topics in Universities in China
Editor's note: Colleges and universities in China have been instructed to steer clear of seven topics in their courses. Reasons provided by Xi Jinping administration showed an inconceivable retrogression in Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ideology, probably an explicit evidence of the leader's sense of insecurity and his anxiety in losing powers to rivalries.
1. Universal Values
Cause: they challenges or even expels Chinese commmunist party leaders and the party's leadership
2. Freedom of Press
Cause: The idea upsets the stability of CCP and society
3. Civil Society
Cause: It creates a new force at grassroots level independent of the CCP
4. Civil Rights
Cause: they upset the CCP’s macro-control over citizens
5. CCP's historical aberrations Cause: this might undermine CCP’s legitimacy to rule or overturn CCP
6. Elite Cronyism / privileged capitalist class
Cause: it 'distorts' the fact that political reform necessitates economic liberalization.
7. Judicial Independence
Cause: it challenges CCP's rule and authority if the courts are no longer under the direct control of CCP

Hong Kong Gov't Imposes Heavy Censorships in Latest Revision of Liberal Studies Textbooks
The Education Bureau recently listed and published the changes in the latest revisions of Liberal Studies textbooks.
The section entitled “Present day Hong Kong” has been significantly changed. Apple Daily found out that most of the content related to human rights and social movements have been removed.
A comic strip in the original edition mentioned that the Causeway Bay Bookstore shareholder Paul Lee was kidnapped. However, in the revised version, that part was changed to a quote by the police saying that Lee “volunteered to go to mainland China”.
Overseas social movements such as the Catalan Independence Movement, the Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia, have all been removed. Some teachers challenged the revision, claiming that the edits were made in an attempt to evade controversial topics.

Pro-Beijing School Allegedly Imposes Political Censorship, Forbidding Students to Wear Black or Yellow Masks
Wong Kam Fai Primary and Secondary School, affiliated with Hong Kong Baptist University, was suspected of imposing #PoliticalCensorship. Stand News was informed that the school's annual journal had blurred the background in some class pictures to obscure drawings of “Pepe”, a cartoon popular amongst pro-democracy protesters.
The school was also said to have banned students from wearing black or yellow masks. Students who broke the new rule would be given demerit points. The informant told Stand News that the new rules, already being enforced by the school, were only announced verbally during morning assembly, instead of via official written notices to parents.
