Thank you for the time line

HongKongers never give up

August 31, 2019 is also an important day in Hong Kong's anti-government protests.

Never forget how CCP killing my people

The timeline will continue to extend if CCP doesn’t get destroyed. Hong Kongers shall never give up pursuing justice and freedoms. StandWithHongKong

Hong Kong people are still resisting and fighting. The free world is urged to speak up and take all action necessary to confront Beijing's attempts to take away HKers' freedom and human rights. StandWithHongKong HongKong

Police is the tool of the govt HKPoliceState

The new media of CCP have deliberately concealed the situation of Hong Kong. hkpolicestate FightForFreedom

Missed August 31 unfortunately. Since today’s 31 again, time to look back on how police brutality fuels the protests and stays unresolved.

HK police was pressing an elderly on the floor suddenly while the old man didn’t rebel! HongKongPoliceTerrorists are all brutal green OBJECTS! They don’t deserve being treated as human because they don’t see lives as lives. HKPoliceState StandwithHK

Seriously undermining what actually happened and and over simplifying what the government has done... very disappointed with this timeline... it seems like the people of HK are complaining and protesting without any actual reasons to...

I can’t forget everyday we’re been through. What if Hong Kong government cancelled the extradition bill on 9th June? It’s definitely just a dream. Cause Hong Kong government won’t listen citizens’ demands.

Japan supports freedom and democracy in Hong Kong and Taiwan. China must change their minds in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet and Uyghur.

This is such a long journey. Couldn’t believe we have been fighting for democracy for more than a year. Despite brutal suppression from China, HKers stand firm in our fight. We’re lucky to receive so many attention from the int’l.

African Americans are demonstrating to end racism and modern slavery from the white man and Hong Kong group of demonstrators are fighting for the return of racism and slavery from the white man

The July 1 protest holds a special place in my heart. It's such a symbolic move to challenge the unjust political system in Hong Kong that's controlled by CCP.

We shall never forget. StandWithHongKong 5DemandsNot1Less

At this moment, I wonder what's in the mind of those still choosing to defend CCP's oppression in HongKong. They won't be better off w/o HongKongProtests. Probably, bloodshed and money are the only things that can please these hard hearted people.

Ah.... the real news, not the oppressed in Minneapolis

I was thinking its US……why don't U report sth real new and hot?

Are you sure they are not rioters like American?

fake news

We wish we as Hong Kongers could change what’s happening with our votes like how democracies could, and apparently that’s an illegal request... And apparently we try to get that political right through protesting we get shot. StandwithHK FreeHongKong

Actually there are dead and disappeared protesters in Hong Kong. We found unnatural dead bodies nearly each week, just government discriminated all these bodies were 'dead by suicide'

20 pictures marking the key events of the HKProtests:

Rubbishy American media.. they are rioters!!!! Not protesters!! Are you blind or brainless

Almost a year since the first mass protest on June 9, 2019, CCP has completely torn off the the pretence of “one country two systems” and is determined to murder HongKong’s autonomy with the national security law. The HK as we know it is dead.

But these murderers have no consequence, instead having promotion and prasied for killing innocent citizens

Hong Kong dead and lost more than 1000

It’s riots. Thank u!

No single death in Hong Kong thugs' so called peaceful protest.

LMFAO, Reuters, do let us know how the national guard are doing cracking down on them 'rioters' in the US.

What is key dates in US for its citizens calling for equally rights and no more racism?

Compare it?

so why did you british suppress the north ireland independence?

Or will they let China do whatever they want like they have for the past few decades? Pompeous Maximus is the personification of the pompous American. His hubris and pompousness will lead to the downfall of the US global imperial empire.
