The Fugitive Offenders Legislation, which sparked over 4 months of protests, would have allowed suspects to be sent to mainland China for trial. That fueled anger amongst citizens who feared that Beijing’s leaders were encroaching on their freedoms.
In September, Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam announced a full withdrawal of the bill would happen, but has repeatedly said the other demands are beyond her control. A suspect accused of murdering his girlfriend in Taiwan -- whose case Lam had used as an example showing the need for an extradition bill -- was released from a Hong Kong Prison Wednesday as the city and Taiwan bickered over how to handle his voluntary surrender.

Actually they are asking for UK nationality. I hope UK can accept them so that China can deport those riots legally. However, it is a pity that UK doesn’t really love/care them, instead, only like using them as weapons against China.
They used to wave American flags. They must have heard about the Kurds
Supporting the people in HongKong is supporting the protection of basic human rights and freedom. UK politicians especially have an obligation to act when the joint declaration is breached by PRC.
As the UK politicians support the protests in HK, they should accept these protesters(mobs) into the UK as well. Don't be hypocritical.
HK protesters may have started peacefully but rioters became more violent, burning public properties, beating civilians... Is this what you call 'peaceful' protest? Will the West accept this kind of violence?
Traitor HOOLIGANS They are NOT protesters but sold out traitors to their motherland CHINA and HOOLIGANS
thank you for supporting hk!!!
This is awful, they aren’t even in tune.

no chance. this is china. CHN all and everyone will be silent. general public doesn't care too. but they will tweet something, indeed.
The Democratic world better fight to save Hong Kong I have inside information that China's planning to make there move soon. To capture & crush democracy.And make them become part of there communist government.Trump has already gotten on his knees & promised Chi he will support.
Now, I know they didn't sing that God save the Queen mess to a fake---Well tell them she better talk right to me today, if anybody in there want somebody to save them--
lmao hk = china
Where are those Blizzard kids, they are missing the actual front lines.
They would’ve been singing the American National anthem but America has fallen short with the current administration that doesn’t believe in protecting human rights, or protecting allies.
As annex-British colony, seems appropriate.
There was once a time when they would have chosen the Stars and Stripes.
British anthem today, American anthem tomorrow..... Russian next week ?
Shameful!
Joint Declaration is not history, it was signed from both sides and registerd in the UN. The defiance to the J.D. by China is not just defiance to UN, but also to the U.K. chinazi
