Wow...

Here's the new teaching video issued to Hong Kong primary schools, where children from age six (6) will be required to memorize and name the offenses under the national security law and its state enforcement bodies.
The full video's site is region restricted, but a list of teaching resources can be found here:

Where limiting rights and freedoms are justified via comparison to playing your favorite song at loud volume:
...
Teacher: "Now remember these words carefully, and you, too, could one day work for the Chief Executive's Press Office"

Child, 2nd grade: "…HAS BEEN LISTED IN ANNEX III TO THE BASIC LAW ACCORDING TO ARTICLE 18 OF THE BASIC LAW APPLIED BY WAY OF PROMULGATION IN THE HKSAR"
This is actually quite instructive.

Thinking of the quote from @ray_slowbeat in @TMclaughlin3's piece last week:

The legislation is “not just a law, it is a system,” he said. “It is the power for the government to do anything.”

Kudos:
I should add there are versions in all official languages, but they're region-restricted and you may need to VPN in:
