Apparently you have completely no idea what you are writing about.
I can only imagine how annoying that could be for all those people to whom Hong Kong is important, who have their friends and families there.

It's OK to say "I don't know". It's not OK to say pretend otherwise, telling Hong Kongese that you know better what's happening to his home.

I'm just suggesting going down to see in person would be better than watching it on the news. I did mention all I know about it is from my friend who walks through it daily on his lunch hour, @gtg.

Well, I'm one of those who saw it in person.

What was your experience?

If all the information you have is from one friend in Hong Kong, you don't follow the news and don't even know who CCP are, then how can you be so sure about your opening comment

I'm going with fake news on this one.

As @gtg says, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and what is actually happening in Hong Kong.

Your comment is a disrespect to those risking their life fighting for freedom in Hong Kong every day, and a disrespect to the author of this post.

What I notice is when a good part of my social media blows up with the same story all at the same time, @livinguktaiwan. A recent similar example is the rain Amazon forest fires everyone cared about a couple of months ago. Then it came out that the photos showing the fires were all from many years ago and now no one cares about that issue again. But now there is a guy in one of my natural medicine groups posting about Hong Kong with all kinds of specific information. (until he got thrown out for being off topic).

In the midst of seeing all kinds of random people in my groups all of the sudden caring about Hong Kong and China, my friend showed me the photos on his phone. Why and how would uni students get to the central core to protest - only at lunch time, and without disrupting people going out to eat lunch? If they were trying to shut down business, they should be there all day and at least at the morning and evening rush. The story makes no sense. Only time will tell how long it will go on.
