01:08 rational, inclusive and open-minded, open the country wider to the world and impress

01:14 other civilizations."

01:17 The law mandates that patriotic education should honor the historical and cultural legacies

01:22 of other nations and draw inspiration from remarkable achievements of human civilization.

01:29 The law also targets measures for different groups of people, including government officials,

01:35 employees, villagers, and residents in special administrative regions, Hong Kong and Macau,
