Hong Kong tells US to stay out; students form protest chains

HONG KONG – Thousands of students formed human chains outside schools across Hong Kong on Monday to show solidarity to push for democratic reforms after violent weekend clashes in the semiautonomous Chinese territory.

Hong Kong’s government agreed last week to withdraw an extradition bill that sparked a summer of protests, but demonstrators want other demands to be met, including direct elections of city leaders and an independent inquiry into police actions. It said in a statement Monday that “foreign legislatures should not interfere in any form in the internal affairs” of Hong Kong.

The unrest has become the biggest challenge to Beijing’s rule since it took over Hong Kong, and an embarrassment to its ruling Communist party ahead of Oct. 1 celebrations of its 70th year in power. At the St. Paul Co-educational College, a Catholic school, students in blue dresses also chanted “Five key demands, not one less,” the slogan of protesters who have refused to yield until all their demands are met.

Hongkong is trying to get rid of Commies, in Phil., CPP NPA terrorist are always protesting to be relevant, supported by no other than CBCP and Yellows. Come to think of it, No Yellow & CBCP condemn CPP when mother's come out to ask help on the kidnapping of their children.
