Massive Hong Kong Protest Against China

Massive numbers of HongKong residents marched today to protest a new extradition law being pushed by mainland China.
The new law would allow residents of Hong Kong (which is technically part of China) to be extradited to mainland China to face prosecution there for certain crimes. China's justice system offers much less protection to defendants than Hong Kong's system, and is widely seen as opaque and biased toward the state.
According to protest organizers, over one million protesters marched today, which would make the demonstration the biggest in Hong Kong since the UK handed it over to China in 1997.
Some protesters are still demonstrating hours after the march began, and there are clashes reported with police

Control freaks. If China is successful, which they probably will be mumbling they could end up arresting (or worst) about 1/3 of Hong Kong, including and especially protesters, who would or are viewed as dissents (or revolutionaries)

Even after it was announced that the LegCo reading of the #extraditionbill was postponed, protesters don’t appear to be dispersing. In fact some were trying to expand the occupied area by erecting more barriers. #NoExtraditionToChina

Approximately 12:30pm
Umbrellas are their shields against tear gas. And have been used in the past.
Residents, do make donations to protestors of umbrellas and water.
First aid stations and water are needed for those who have been sprayed

Thunderstorms are now in HongKong forcast for this afternoon and tonight.

Police have been seen, assembling something, however, I haven't found what it is. Photos of it are on Twitter.

This is sad and very serious indeed. Britain should get involved because there were certain things set in stone when Hong Kong got independence.

Hong Kong
Chinese special administrative region

Hong Kong is an autonomous territory, and former British colony, in southeastern China.

Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China

was handed back to the PRC in '97 I think!

I am quite hopeful that the african swine fever may bring down the communists . The scale of the numbers may make it very hard to replace the pigs with other meat . Of course the communists could just drop a couple of hundred million chinese down a well/ river to match food supply and nothing further would be said .
