Hong Kong protests: Cash bounties are being offered to identify masked anti-China activists

—named 803.hk after an August 3 incident in which activists threw a Chinese flag into Hong Kong's harbor—is offering varying totals of between HK$200,000 and HK$1 million to identify individuals engaged in the most direct anti-government actions,It is not clear who is behind the website nor whether they have any link to the governments of either Hong Kong or Beijing.

The site also says that the rewards will come from private sources and will be supported by crowdfunding, while stressing that the identities of any informants are"absolutely confidential." Once a report is received, the group says it will be passed onto Hong Kong police via a lawyer. The most lucrative bounties—at HK$1 million —are for those who tore down a Chinese flag and threw it into the water and for those who used black paint to deface the Chinese government's seal at the China Liaison Office in downtown Hong Kong in July.

This screen grab, taken on August 27, 2019, shows the 803.hk website. Its creators are offering cash rewards for identification of masked protesters who engaged in violence and vandalism during the anti-government demonstrations in Hong Kong.The next highest band of rewards—of HK$500,0000 —relate to those who vandalized the Legislative Council Building at the start of July, inflicting some HK$10 million worth of damage.

The lowest strata of bounties—HK$200,000 —is for those engaged in lower-level violent acts. These include vandalism of police vehicles, destruction of facial recognition posts and violence that occurred at Hong Kong's international airport.

This 'Bounty' is offered & organized by former Chief Executive of HongKong, CY Leung

Same old dirty tricks from CCP China, just like what they did in the 'Cultural Revolution', Govt. Officials encourage people to stab each other's back, even stabbing your own parent & kids, your own teachers & friends. That's why Mainland China is lack of morality.
