    Beyond higher education there are unanswered questions about talent/recruiting given people may not want to move to HK and subject their children to a CCP propaganda curriculum in primary and secondary schools.

    Surely this is a key reason families live in cramped flats in HK rather than spacious apartments in Shenzhen plus low income taxes. From the data I looked at some time ago the vast majority of people who live in Shenzhen and cummute to HK were the working poor who could not afford accomodation in HK. Those that can live in HK

    It is also the prospective staff that will look at the arbitrary and unpredictability of 'thought laws' and think it just isn't worth the risk. What is ok now may not be in the future.

    And what about westerners who teach or own a tutorial center? They could be viewed with suspicion because they may be part of that "foreign influence" that spreads misinformation to their students. Schools may give up on hiring them in the future.

    More warnings on the impact on education. More and more academic subjects will become off-limits. Foreign scholars will decline collaboration with HK scholars on research projects and local universities' ranking and credibility will likely fall dramatically as a result:

    Kevin Yeung is on a roll this week

    When asked if "Love Basic Law" – a Cantopop song released in 2006 to celebrate the 16th anniversary of the promulgation of the Basic Law – would be allowed, Yeung replied that loving the Basic Law is not a political action, is something that everyone should do like respecting your elders, and therefore not propaganda.
