Burning and bricking the residents ain’t a good way to win your cause.
One wonders if there aren’t some agents provocateur among the “protestors.”
I know many people in Hong Kong, and they don’t at all like seeing subway stations burned, bricks thrown, stores trashed, as well as protestors being shot by police.
Its pretty clear also that the local police have been taken over by officers from Mainland China. Putonghua (standard mandarin) is now heard often coming from police on the scene.
The world is going to hell in a hand basket .... HK and Chile, were pretty stable countries .... now this ...
This is obvious communist China propaganda.
At this point, it is now almost impossible to know whose side someone is on and who is being infiltrated.
Are these violent protesters really legitimate protesters, or are they planted to make the HK protesters look like anarchists?
How can we tell?
Chi Com agent likely.
They want an excuse to smash the protestors.
SCMP was sold to Alibaba in 2016. People would do well to keep that in mind when reading their reports.
By the way, Alibaba is soon to be state-owned as a result of the CCP’s recently launched effort to take over private businesses, starting with the successful ones, with the private CEOs either being retired (Alibaba, Tencent, Lenovo), jailed (Anbang), or being suicided (mysterious death in France).
