What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students identify ways China's government has restricted religious practice, political speech, and regional autonomy. They compare cases in Hong Kong, Tibet, and Xinjiang, as well as restrictions affecting Christians and Falun Gong practitioners.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can name a government action, who it affects, and its effect. They can use a dated source to show that a restriction continued beyond a single event.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may assume the same laws and policies apply in Hong Kong, Tibet, and Xinjiang. They may confuse government actions with the views of all Chinese people or assume these restrictions ended decades ago.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: Compare one restriction in Hong Kong with one in Xinjiang. For each, name the action, who it affects, and a dated source that supports your answer.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs a printed map and dated source cards on Hong Kong, Tibet, and Xinjiang; have them label each location and note one reported restriction.
Ask students to write: How do limits on worship differ from limits on political speech? Use one dated example of each.
Play a card match with government actions, affected groups, and effects; students justify each match with a sentence from a printed source.
Show a recent report on Hong Kong arrests beside a government statement about the same law; students list each source's claims.
