As a pacifist (in high school, no longer), I took issue with the US war in Iraq and refused to stand during the national anthem in classrooms. I was not arrested, or fined - just teased by fellow students. One thing being fought over is disrespecting the Chinese national anthem. Sure, I might not be “the average person” but that’s the point, small deviations are criminalized.
