Xi Jinping sees protests in Hong Kong as a threat to the party

, campaigners for Western-style freedoms in Hong Kong pretend that they are not seeking a fight with the Communist Party of China. Rather, activists say that their goals and those of party chiefs in Beijing should be nicely aligned: both camps seek continued prosperity for Hong Kong, 22 years after the former British colony became a free-market enclave in China, under the slogan “one country, two systems”.

These are vertiginous times for campaigners like Mr Law, who at the age of 25 has already been elected to Hong Kong’s Legislative Council and served jail time for his role in pro-democracy protests in 2014. After Mrs Lam suspended the extradition bill, some foreign media called her climb-down one of the biggest political setbacks that Mr Xi has faced in his years as China’s leader. It feels very different to protesters, says Mr Law, as chanting comrades walk past.

Rank-and-file protesters are also focused on local politics. Wayne, a 20-year-old student blockading the city’s main tax offices, shrugs when asked about his chances of being heeded by Mr Xi. “He is a king,” he says. His grievances are with Hong Kong officials for failing to keep the rest of China at a sufficient distance.

Don't worry, storm in a cup.

It didn’t look like the protestors had much fear yesterday. The police on the other hand...

Who is constantly claiming that they protest to fight against CCP? Come on, don't avoid mentioning all aspects of these traitors.

hardhitting nah

Yes, they are.

Then what is? When you want to remove something you attack it and that is what they are doing. China isnt even communist anymore. They have private buisnesses. Its a tittle at this point
