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,
01:41 as well as Taiwan.
01:43 In summary, China's new patriotic education law set to take effect in 2024 seeks to bolster
