Hong Kong’s education bureau confirmed to the Global Times on Tuesday that it had sent advice to a number of publishers that had voluntarily submitted their liberal studies textbooks to the education regulator for consultancy, and the corresponding revisions have been made by the middle of August.

The revisions include stressing that protestors will be held legally accountable if they violate the law, strengthening students’ identity as both Hongkongers and Chinese, and clarifying that Hong Kong’s political system is not based on so-called “separation of the three powers.”
