Nah that was never normal. This example sparked outrage, it was waaaay out of line and emboldened by the civil unrest at the time.
It actually might have been a good thing, because it got people asking , “if that’s out of line, where is the line?”.
Now we have a line. And a lot of teachers are terrified of it and portray it as overly-draconian, but that’s because they’d grown so used to slinging microaggressions toward mainlanders, mainland culture, and mainland government.
But it’s the same kind of line that everywhere else has. Promote good values. Don’t promote sedition. Don’t cheerlead for the foreign government that wants to destroy yours and subjugate you.
