Rule of Law · Full chronicle and history

On September 11, 2026, the Hong Kong High Court sentenced leaders of the Alliance for Patriotic Democratic Movements of Hong Kong (ADPL), Lee Cheuk-yan, Chow Hang-tung, and Albert Ho Chun-yan, to five, six, and seven years in prison respectively for subversion of state power. The Hong Kong SAR government and the Legislative Council subsequently issued statements firmly supporting the verdict and accusing the US, the West, and overseas organizations of slander and smearing. Police Commissioner Raymond Siu warned that there are still hidden criminals. The EU issued a statement saying the trial was politically motivated and warned of damage to Hong Kong's rule of law reputation; the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights called for the abolition of the penalty and demanded that the National Security Law comply with international human rights standards.

On September 11, netizens released the ninth-grade first-semester "Morality and Rule of Law" textbook compiled by the Ministry of Education, which requires students to arm their minds with Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. It also quotes "A household with a thousand mouths is led by one person" and emphasizes the maintenance of Xi Jinping's core position, sparking public attention.

The Financial Times reported on September 11 that China is accelerating the use of foreign-related legal tools to counter US and EU sanctions, intensively introducing multiple regulations with extraterritorial effect. This forces multinational corporations into a dilemma of violating laws on both sides in terms of compliance.

The new edition of the Grade 5 first-semester 'Morality and Rule of Law' textbook, revised according to the 2022 curriculum standards, has been released, covering political indoctrination such as the history of the CPC, socialist propaganda, and the core status of Xi Jinping.
