Hong Kong marks handover to China with ceremony and protests

Protesters holding umbrellas face off police officers in anti-riot gear in Hong Kong on Monday, July 1, 2019. Protesters in Hong Kong pushed barriers and dumpsters into the streets early Monday morning in an apparent bid to block access to a symbolically important ceremony marking the anniversary of the return of the former British colony to China.

Hong Kong leaders, mainland China representatives and invited guests watched the ceremony on a screen inside the city’s cavernous convention center instead of outside as they normally do. The government cited inclement weather after intermittent light rain earlier in the morning. She insisted her government has good intentions, but said “I will learn the lesson and ensure that the government’s future work will be closer and more responsive to the aspirations, sentiments and opinions of the community.”

The government has suspended debate on the bill indefinitely, but protest leaders want it formally withdrawn and Lam’s resignation. They also are demanding an independent inquiry into police actions during a June 12 protest, when officers used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse protesters who blocked the legislature on the day debate on the bill had been scheduled to resume.

Americans,stop incite and support those lawless and violent mobsters,enough is enough!

Most of the Honkongneses are descendants of the Chinese people who were depressed by the Chinese Communit party like Taiwan,so they don't believe in Chinese way of politic.

Rainbow umbrella easy target!
