Students wearing mask hold hands to surround St. Stephen's Girls' College in Hong Kong, Monday, Sept. 9, 2019. Thousands of demonstrators in Hong Kong urged President Donald Trump to "liberate" the semiautonomous Chinese territory during a peaceful march to the U.S. Consulate on Sunday, but violence broke out later in the business and retail district as police fired tear gas after protesters vandalized subway stations, set fires and blocked traffic.
Thousands of demonstrators held a peaceful march Sunday to the U.S. Consulate to seek Washington’s support, but violence erupted later in the day in a business and retail district as protesters vandalized subway stations, set fires and blocked traffic, prompting police to fire tear gas. Hong Kong’s government expressed regret over the U.S. bill, known as the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act. 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. Beijing and the entirely state-controlled media have portrayed the protests as an effort by criminals to split the territory from China, backed by what it said were hostile foreigners.
Some university students continued their protest chains at lunch time, with passing cars honking in support. Many rallied against what they viewed as excessive use of force by police, with one student carrying a placard that read “Stop violence, we are not rioters.” Separately, well-known Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong was released Monday, a day after he was detained at the airport following an oversight in his bail certificate.

I think it’s hilarious (?) that the protesters in Hong Kong are asking trump to help them turn to democracy! Don’t they realize that he loves dictators & he approves of all the measures they’re taking to control the crowds & would use even more deadly force if it were him!
This is becoming silly. We knew for a very long time that Hong Kong would revert to China. We knew what that might mean. The prudent made a judgement and left in good order. The remainers are now citizens of PRC. Make common cause with similarly minded folks on the mainland.
Looks like my house when someone breaks wind...
Они знают за что борются а наша вата не знает ...есть сказки про совок и страшилки про 90е...

Please take TRUMP. You can have him!
If the Hong Kong army and police stand side by side with the people of Hong Kong, it is extremely cute
