What kind of democracy do these rioting youngsters want? I for one got sick of listening to politicians and their fake promises, and haven't voted for anyone since my early 30's.
What we really need are more educated people handling our financial infrastructure, as so to avoid extreme poverty, crime and disease.
Some twenty something righteous 'musician and teacher' ain't gonna make a difference for the majority. Let me guess, she's an uneducated lazy hipster, who can't keep a job for longer than a few months, because she talks too much.

They are all of the view that the protests are getting out of hand and far from helping them get what they want, it is more likely to result in the exact opposite - a crackdown and a tightening of restrictions.
Hong Kong: 1.7m people defy police to march in pouring rain
An estimated quarter of the population fill downtown park and surrounding streets
An estimated 1.7 million people in Hong Kong – a quarter of the population – defied police orders to stage a peaceful march after a rally in a downtown park, after two months of increasingly violent clashes that have prompted severe warnings from Beijing and failed to win concessions from the city’s government.

Here is the Chinese mainland view on the situation.
Over 470,000 rally for peace in HK
Over 470,000 rally for peace in HK
Shows how all media is biased, and very hard to rely on.shdaily wrote:
At the beginning of the rally, a video was played, featuring a recording of a policeman’s wife who spoke, choking back sobs, of how violent protesters stormed the police stations and attacked the police. She appealed to the public to support the police and Hong Kong during this difficult time. “Police, keep it up!” “Save Hong Kong!” the crowd cried out at the end of the video.
A 57-year-old gardener surnamed Chan said sometimes she could not go to work because radical demonstrators disrupted the traffic, “which was very annoying.” “Hong Kong has always been a peaceful society. I hope the extremist radicals stop violent acts so that people can return to peaceful life,” she said.
A finance professional surnamed Lee said his business has been badly hit by the illegal demonstrations since many of his clients are too concerned to invest in Hong Kong.

I'm not quite sure what your point is posting Chinese government lies. I had already posted about the meetings of pro government forces, state media and their agenda a couple of pages back.newnewnewbie wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 3:30 pmHere is the Chinese mainland view on the situation.

Here's an except from that Bill Bailey Eye-Witness report that was posted in The Guardian yesterday: talking about when he got caught up in the protest at the airport. It's interesting to note that he was trapped between police and protesters at one point. Which demonstrates the total disregard.of Chinese pro government forces, unlike the protesters, who were showing concern and giving advice, for even the safety of international passengers travelling through the airport. :
"As we were ushered back inside the airport by concerned protesters another huge roar went up. We could now see riot police in full protective gear grabbing and beating protesters from just inside the airport and dragging them outside.
Carried along in a huge sea of people, we were propelled to the fast train service to downtown Hong Kong. At one stage during this protest – now in its 11th week – there were two million people on the streets of Hong Kong. This is nearly a third of the population, which makes this perhaps the largest per capita protest ever, anywhere in the world.
The Chinese goverment, after having lied to its people for weeks about the protests, have now got to think about the fact that the whole of China now knows about the protests.
And all because they reneged on yet another contract they signed.
It beggars belief that such a backward country in almost everything has become the world's top economy.

Hong Kong protests: Huge crowds rally peacefully
bbc wrote:Organisers say 1.7 million people turned out at Sunday's pro-democracy protest in Hong Kong, amid increasingly severe warnings by Beijing.
Police put the figure much lower at 128,000, counting only those at an officially sanctioned rally.
I suspect the numbers are somewhere between the 1.7m claimed by the protestors and the 128,000 claimed by the police. However, either way it was an impressive turnout.Chneseexpat wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 2:52 pmThe final tally for the demonstration is in.

Twitter and Facebook crack down on accounts linked to Chinese campaign against Hong Kong
Company also suspends thousands of accounts as it reports ‘state-backed information operation’

Twitter has removed nearly 1,000 accounts and suspended thousands of others tied to a campaign by the Chinese government against protesters in Hong Kong, the company announced on Monday.
Twitter disclosed a “significant state-backed information operation” originating from within the People’s Republic of China (PRC) targeting the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong. It removed 936 accounts and suspended approximately 200,000 accounts its investigation found were illegitimate.
“Covert, manipulative behaviors have no place on our service – they violate the fundamental principles on which our company is built,” Twitter said in a statement.

The company released an archive of offending tweets and accounts, many of which accused protesters of violence and being sponsored by western governments. “We don’t want you radical people in Hong Kong,” one deleted tweet said.
In addition, Twitter said it was banning all advertising from state-controlled news media entities. “Any affected accounts will be free to continue to use Twitter to engage in public conversation, just not our advertising products,” it said, adding that the ban would not apply to entities that are taxpayer-funded but independent.
There has been significant unrest in Hong Kong over a now-suspended bill that would have allowed suspects to be extradited to mainland China for trial in Communist party-controlled courts. The demonstrations have since swelled into wider calls for democracy.
The protests, which began in June, have presented one of the biggest challenges for the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, since he came to power in 2012.
The company also announced it would not accept money from any “state-controlled news media entities” in the future, including organizations such as China Daily. The new advertising rules do not apply to tax-funded state media organizations like BBC, PBS, NPR, or CBC.
