housands of people took to Hong Kong’s streets to stage the city’s biggest protest in months, and police moved swiftly to enforce Beijing’s mandate to quash dissent with more than 300 arrests—including nine under a new national-security law. With an extensive show of force on Wednesday, officers in riot gear confronted demonstrators who gathered around lunchtime in a busy shopping district and later spread to other areas. Police fired pepper spray and water cannon and hoisted purple banners warning protesters that they could be in violation of the new law.

Sad, truly sad.
Agree.
Commies have no mercy.
Total police state.
Shows how our BLM crowd are idiots.
This is real.
And as the USA tears itself to bits over nothing, the Chinese are free to do as they wish.
Welcome to the Chinese century.
I wager that most of Hong Kong’s police force, before the takeover, has been replaced by veteran forces of the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Autobots with no conscience and the blood of thousands on their hands. They will do the same to the formerly free citizens of HK.
And the West sleeps again.
The Chicoms have killed the goose that laid the golden egg.
What was special about Hong Kong? Wasn’t it just another coastal city in China?
Well, it had freedom. It had a separate legal system. It had separate and significant global trade that was a singular benefit to all of China.
Now the Chicoms have truly made it just another coastal Chinese city.
The United State’s special trade relationship with Hong Kong is over. Their services and goods are now just one of many cheap Chinese Walmart suppliers. The best and brightest will flee to Britain (unless the Chicoms detain them).
What a senseless, stupid move. Xi really is Winnie the Pooh.
I wonder where all the businesses in Hong Kong will go? Singapore perhaps?
They’re screwed.
Isn’t COMMUNISM beautiful?? Hey Libs...still going to vote DEMOCRAT???
The ChiComs are capable of making Tiananmen Square look like a picnic!
This is what DemocRATS would love to do to anyone who disagrees with their warped, twisted ideology.
The mayor of Seattle would never have allowed this to happen.
On the other hand, should Chopsters get their way, they would do the same.
Strongly suspect the BLM crowd is Pro-Communist — and would approve of Red China’s actions.
Didn’t take their police long to kow tow to the new ones in charge. Happily turning in their own for a pat on the head.
Country coming to a country near you soon. If the “Death To America” mobs across America get their way.
Prayers up for these brave people.
“Strongly suspect the BLM crowd is Pro-Communist — and would approve of Red China’s actions.”
Absolutely. No question.
In Hong Kong demonstrators were against a dictatorial regime.
Here demonstrators want to be a dictatorial regime.
HK will be merged with Shenzhen, the CCP sleepers are already in place to take over. Then they will do Taiwan.
You’re naive if you think the CCP gives a damn about freedoms and rights or historic ways.
Hong Kong must be crushed or the disease of Freedom will spread to the bulk of China and end Red Communist Party rule. It was always the goal of the west—and it will work as the government cracks down harder. BUT before then, China must unify their people with a war. China vs India? China vs Japan? China vs. Vietnam? China vs Russia? They are not ready for USA vs China—Not Yet. BUT such actions could spin out of control into WW III.
