Comment section is full of westerners having a go at the protestors! Its insane 😂 “liberals” going on about how this is a “US imperialist” backed riot
Good grief! Let The freaking Brit’s handle this as they should know never to trust China!
China needs to leave Hong Kong alone, they got no business being there.

Take care Hong Kong people. This is a fight for democracy against dictatorships that plague many countries. Let us know if there’s anything we can do to help.

Trump wins trade war
China is determent to protects its borders just like russia. I’m afraid this will cost lifes. Hong Kong and Taiwan will suffer under the Putin of the east.
If China uses the army to quell this, they will destroy their economy. The rest of the world will see China for what it really is.
What a hero,free tibet
HaHa.. what year u living? 2003? haha~
hong kong was a british possession for a long time (1881-1997) and the people don’t really want to be part of PRC (communist china). they want to be an independent city-state. the people were not allowed to participate in the sino-british joint declaration in 1997 that determined their future, so this should come as no surprise to anyone.
And somehow, Fredo Cuomo is trending over this story
Somebody has got to teach Stephanie how to dress. For God sakes woman, pull ’em up a bit, they’re hangin’ on your belly.
