A man wearing a mask of Chinese President Xi Jinping stands with peole wearing Guy Fawkes masks on a street in Hong Kong, Thursday, Oct. 31, 2019. Hong Kong authorities are bracing as pro-democracy protesters urged people on Thursday to celebrate Halloween by wearing masks on a march in defiance of a government ban on face coverings.
The latest broadside against alleged foreign backing of anti-government protesters came Friday from a top-ranking member of China’s ceremonial parliament, the National People’s Congress. “We absolutely will not permit any behavior encouraging separatism or endangering national security and will resolutely guard against and contain the interference of foreign powers in the affairs of Hong Kong and Macao and their carrying out acts of separatism, subversion, infiltration and sabotage,” he told reporters.
Article 23 of the Basic Law requires that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region “enact laws on its own to prohibit any act of treason, secession, sedition, subversion against the Central People’s Government.” Hong Kong has already taken a hard line on demands that candidates for office endorse the “one country, two systems” formula and explicitly rule out the possibility of Hong Kong becoming independent of Beijing.
There's no foreign power. HKers become so determined to separate from Chinazi because of your brutal rule. Because Chinazi ordered HK police to abuse power and physically assault HKers when it's not necessary. Your disrespect of human lives is the root cause. HongKongProtesters
China oppressed freedoms, democracy, justice & human rights in HK without limits. One country Two systems was dead in HK. HK was now a lawless Police State.China put labels on HK to prevent International support to HK fighting for basic freedoms & basic rights.StandWithHongKong

The only power interfering with HongKong’s autonomy is, CCP The only one carrying out acts of separatism, subversion, infiltration & sabotage is also, CCP None of the 5DemandsNot1Less pertains to independence at all

MeiChin76490800 If there is a foreign power interfering hongkong, it is China communist government. 'One country two systems' is gone as China cannot keep up its promise of HongKong's autonomy.
ttttt_katie China has run HK for 22yrs, its yr govt, yr appointed chiefs, yr education system. Are you shameless why whatever 'foreign power' can 'sucessfully' 'infiltrated' HK and provoked the protests on your land? Are you shamless to blame others given your home field advantages?
There is no foreign interference. If it does, there will be causality. Causality of HKpolice
ttttt_katie China want 'One Country' only, they destroyed 'Two Systems' already and they dont give a shxt. None of the FiveDemands requests Independence; look at recent public poll 80%+ respondents rejected Independent. It is CommunistChina who always wanted to smear the HKprotests

They still haven't got their minds straight? No 'foreign powers' is gonna carry out such acts. None of them are stupid enough to destroy Hong Kong and ruin their source of income. China is merely once again hiding their responsibility!
What 'foreign powers'? Hong Kong is a multi-national welcoming city. Every one from every country is welcomed (China included) to start up a company, settle down and pursue happiness. If those voices becomes a power, then it is the government duty to listen.
MuffinGrain831 ccp claim there is foriegn power interfering HongKong for years but yet to give any convincing evidence.
CCP start the war. The Hong Kong common law was broke and that’s why HongKongers have to stand out to save our home. AntiCCP
If CCP doesn't want any foreign power, just stop trading with other countries, and return to isolationism🙄 CCP is taking the advantages from developed countries, on the other hand, colonizing small countries, how dare can CCP do this😡 antiChinazi
HK youngsters didn’t resist China so much just a few months ago In fact many visited China in weekends for food & entertainment. It’s the recent strong suppression, police’s brutality & govt’s stubbornness that contributed to the hostility today CCP’s iron fist pushed us away
Why is this the second tweet from a news source (see AFP) in five minutes about Hong Kong that’s published with English grammar mistakes?
ButchersRuleBeijing
China extracts the organs from political prisoners while they are *still conscious* and only paralyzed. They are doing this on a scale so massive it has become a $1 Bn industry. Youtube: Kyle Bass, Real Vision Finance, Oct 11 interview, begins at 18:45 RT to embarrass China
China is so tragic. What a horrible loss of their culture to become what they are today.
China fixing to do what they do to people’s speech they don’t like. They pay big money for you to keep your trap shut. So...
Since China is no longer honoring one party, two systems, America will have to rethink Hong Kong’s special trade amd financial status. Get ready to lose your cash machine, Pooh Bear 🐻
bold of china to say this when they too are a foreign power interfering in hong kongs affairs
