While it is true that one person was shot in the chest at a different incident, it remains that this i only a small, although regrettable, part of the toll. Most of it has been suffered by opponents of this movement, of which there are many in Hongkong.
There is ample evidence that these protests have been funded and supported by the US administration, recruiting a section of Hongkong society, previously associated with and benefiting from the former British colonial establishment.
Differences in the economic fortunes between mainland China have been exploited. As the fortunes of the former grow, the Hongkong economy has been declining. This is the result of the “one nation two systems” agreement that was a precondition for the British leaving.
The spectacle of protesters carrying photos of Donald Trump, parading American flags and calling for a foreign invasion of Hongkong should be no surprise. Nor should the violent methods applied.
Hongkong’s protests have coincided with the new aggressivesnes of US foreign policy and the trade war being waged against China.
Although good people have for the time being been misled by the slogans, the undeniable reality is starting to show itself.

An indication of the determination of the Chinese to stand against attack was demonstrated in the National Day ceremony.

This was shown at the spectacular ceremony in Beijing, which marked China’s National Day on 1 October.
The anti-China campaign is not going to succeed.

“there is a determination to stand up to foreign interference and those trying to turn back the clock.” That’s exactly what’s happening in Hong Kong – “trying to turn back the clock.” Big China is forging ahead into the future. The Hong Kong “demonstrators” are still locked into their colonial past and their American sponsors are clinging to their past glory. MAGA! Make America Great Again! Like when? 1850? 1950?
