An estimated 1.7 million people in Hong Kong – a quarter of the population – defied police orders to stage a peaceful march after a rally in a downtown park, after two months of increasingly violent clashes that have prompted severe warnings from Beijing and failed to win concessions from the city’s government.

Bravo! Pulling for those marching in Hong Kong. Next up: United States citizens protesting Trump in our homeland. 🇺🇸✊🇺🇸
Our gov't seems to have gone quiet over this? Weakness or lack of commitment? We signed the agreement; we have a legal and moral responsibility to work with China to ensure peace prevails and that the concerns of Hong Kongers are listened to.

And millions and millions of Brits couldn’t give a rats arse. THAT’S THE REALITY .
香港加油🇭🇰！
