Hong Kong marked it's first ever National Security Education Day as a part of its push to instill patriotism in a city chafing under China's rule.

The Hong Kong revealed a new goose-step march on Thursday to mark first ever 'National Security Education Day'.

The Hong Kong police also displayed a cuddly bear mascot, which attracted crowds, especially children, looking to get photographed for social media.

While locals posed for pictures, Beijing's top envoy, Luo Huining, in a morning ceremony vowed to "strike down hard resistance and regulate soft resistance" against any foreign entity and said China is ready to "teach a lesson".

Souvenirs were also displayed at a stall at the city’s police college during an open day.
