HONG KONG: Tens of thousands of mostly young pro-democracy activists rallied in Hong Kong on Monday in the first legal protest since the introduction of colonial-era emergency laws and pleaded for help from the United States.
“Make Hong Kong Great Again”, read one poster. Some protesters waved the US flag and carried “Uncle Sam” recruitment posters reading “Fight for Freedom, Stand with HK”. The unrest poses the biggest popular challenge to Chinese President Xi Jinping since he came to power in 2012. He warned that any attempt to divide China would be crushed.
“They are not protesters, they are rioters and criminals. Whatever cause they are fighting for it never justifies such violence.” On Monday, speakers called on US senators to vote for the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019, saying it would be their “most powerful weapon”.
