LIVE #AgendaFreeTV 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 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

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 .
