I am deeply unsettled by recent attempts to frame the #HongKongProtests into a neat Western-style Left vs Right argument. If you want to know why some protestors are directly appealing to the Right and Trump, it's because the silence from the global Left has been deafening.

Police have cordoned off a section of Tung Choi St in Mongkok after arresting 3 for attempting to build road blocks and setting it on fire. However, neighbors upstairs allege that the arrested could have taken the cue by undercover officers who took the lead.

A recent video of Nicole, dressed in everyday attire near what seems to be a protest site has resurfaced. An excerpt, "I am a new immigrant…endured many hardships to come here…I very love Hong Kong. Officers, do you love Hong Kong?"
A Chinese person in HK who participated in the "Occupy Central" and HK protests of 2019 was arrested while crossing the border to China trying to visit her sick mother last year. She was sentenced to 6 years in prison for attempting to subvert state power in a secret trial.

Classic fearmongering by calling a Hong Konger giving an interview response to a Cantonese media network a "Chinese victory speech".
Kelly Wong is not a citizen of the United States. She was just appointed to the San Francisco Elections Commission. This is her victory speech, in Chinese.
