The extradition bill is really just the spark of these protests. They were revolting because of all the shenanigans Mainland China has been doing in HK.

OMG! Where have you been in the past twenty years more. The extradition bill was just an excuse! They have been planning this for sometime together with foreign government. They just wanted an excuse.

The bill was to ensure CRIMINALS can be extradited to stand trial in a country where they've committed of crime! And thanks to the mob, a murderer will be due out in a few days time, because they can't return him back to Taiwan, of all places, to stand trial for murdering his girlfriend!

And as for shenanigans, well that words says it all where you stand. But let's put thst aside, please be specific so that we can help to understand where you are coming from!

Commentary: The truth behind rioters who call themselves "the valiant" in Hong Kong

Though they call themselves "the valiant" without any "backstage support," plans or organization, the truth behind the rioters remains difficult to conceal.

Radical protesters have repeatedly committed violence and instigated hatred against Hong Kong police. The latest media reports provide more proof of meticulous planning, extremist views, and their salient goal to cause further chaos, fear and antagonism in Hong Kong.

A video released by the New York Times disclosed a secret warehouse and hideout for radical protesters, who have been causing tremendous mayhem in Hong Kong for the third straight month.

The video showed a group of young people gathering in a hotel, part of an underground network of safe houses. They said protests were like playing Grand Theft Auto video games and were "fun," and they looked forward to the police taking action.

In the clip, a masked female protester said, "The next person to die could be one of us. ... Everyone has to shoulder the responsibility."

The clip also showed protesters included a group of students under the age of 18, whose parents did not know they were involved. "Some tell us they would die for this movement," a journalist narrated in the video.

One protester talked about buying masks and glasses, but in fact, the protesters have used far more offensive weapons including sling shots, laser beams and petrol bombs to attack police and innocent civilians.

Sources said 500 to 1,000 radical protesters possess a strong tendency for violence, while some are advocating more violent acts in the future, including plans to sabotage power stations in Hong Kong.

Radical protesters are relying heavily on anonymous messaging apps like Telegram for orchestrating and coordinating attacks against the police, a tactic that has been used by terrorists to plot and carry out terror attacks in other parts of the world in recent years.

Those protesters share manuals on how to make petrol bombs and how to frame the anti-rioting law enforcement by police on online forums and social media.

The "manual on fighting," which has been widely circulated among rioters, elaborates "pre-war preparations," "personal training," "battleground response" and "information about arrests," with details on protective gear, weak points of the police and countermeasures, and how to respond before and after arrests.

"Being the valiant is a meaningful make-or-break gamble for us," said the manual.

Over the past two months, nearly 900 people involved in violent incidents have been arrested.

On multiple occasions, radical protestors took down roadside railings to form barricades long before police arrived. A large number of deadly petrol bombs have been used.

Lately, HKlastword has been trending on Twitter and it is full of agitating messages and hate speech against police officers. One reads: "If we burn, you burn with us."

Local online forums like lihkg.com and hkgolden.com are also full of calls for more violence this week.

One post on lihkg.com reads: "Laam-Tsao (die together) will prevail!", referring to a Cantonese slogan rioters are widely using to mobilize suicide bomber-style sentiment online and street violence in Hong Kong.

Another post on the website even taught rioters violent tactics for besieging police stations: "We should use more locks on the steel gates of police stations to prevent them from getting out. When they try to unlock the gate, we can kill them with whatever we find."

"When confronting the police, we should intensively attack their feet to prevent them from chasing us," it added.

Such instigative posts remained unchecked on social media day after day, while other radicals advocated the bullying of police officers' children in schools.

Alvin Tai Kin-fai, assistant principal of the Hong Kong Chinese Christian Churches Union Logos Academy, wrote on his Facebook page that he hopes children of the policemen who "used violence" will die before they turn 7 years old, or die before 20 if they are already older than 7.

Escalating violence has become a paramount issue and actions should be taken to stop them, members of the Hong Kong public have said.

In a statement published in local media this month, Peter Woo, senior counsel of The Wharf (Holdings) Limited, appealed to protesters to stop violence, citing the definition of terrorism in the Oxford Dictionary's online version -- "the unlawful act of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims."

Reuters fake report on Hong Kong is a stain on global journalism
Source:Global Times Published: 2019/8/31 5:47:31

Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!

According to a so-called "exclusive" Reuters report released Friday, Carrie Lam, Chief Executive of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), submitted a proposal to Beijing earlier this summer that asked for "5 key demands" from the Hong Kong protesters to be taken seriously but was rejected.

The Global Times has since learned the Reuters story is fake. In fact, it intends to create an illusion by interweaving rumors with public events in an attempt to misguide public opinion. The story incorrectly refers to a joint symposium between the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government and the Hong Kong SAR on August 7 and takes advantage the HKSAR government with its rhetoric to add hues and colors to the fake story.

This has become a shameless public opinion battle. Reuters acknowledged they did not see Lam's proposal. The so-called sensitive breaking news was supposedly based on information received from three unnamed sources. Such action is comparable to the violent protestors in the streets of Hong Kong. It is believed the unnamed sources are fabricated, or they are fake news conspirators.

This fake story has arrived at a critical moment during the Hong Kong crisis and was aimed at sowing discord between China's central government and HKSAR. Since the protests began, the HK government and the city's police force have made all-encompassing efforts to maintain social order. However, external forces are determined to rattle HK police and sabotage the unified bond between Hong Kong residents and mainland Chinese.

The fact that the fake story was released on a Friday indicates how the events in Hong Kong have been turned into a battle of public opinion. It is already known that radical groups will stage illegal demonstrations on Saturday despite police opposition, thus providing a greater risk for a new round of violence.

The fake news about the HK government making concessions to the protesters is aimed at inciting more violence to be carried out against China's central government and provocation for more riots and destructive behavior.

When a crisis erupts in a developing country, some Western media agencies have played a disgraceful role by taking advantage of its communication influence. The Reuters report on Friday was an attempt to interfere with Hong Kong affairs. It appeared that Reuters had released an "exclusive" report, but it was really a malicious attempt to misrepresent the situation in HK and destroy anti-violence and peace-keeping efforts.

Riot and anti-riot behavior in Hong Kong have evolved. Protesters crave mob emotions to fuel their power. In that regard, the city preserves its former capitalist system while retaining close connections with Western countries. When the protests started, the US and UK played the role of firm supporter for the protesters. Now, both nations are igniting irrational emotion and manipulating local protesters like puppets to intervene with Hong Kong affairs.

The report is typical of Western news agencies that purposefully set out to create maximum change at minimum costs by shaping public opinion at critical moments. In light of this action, Reuters has severely deviated from the bottom line of journalism ethics that all news agencies should follow. It has carried out what US and British intelligence agencies usually do. Suspicion has already emerged the fake story was a backdoor maneuver by intelligence agencies with Reuters acting as their accomplice.

As one of the largest international news organizations in the world, how shameful it is that Reuters would engage in public opinion warfare against HKSAR and China's central government with such a boldly false and inaccurate report.

This just show the bias in journalism, outside the RTHK studio. The studio deliberately fly the national flag upside down!

I know there's a few patriots here for their respective country, so how would anyone feel if an organisation who is supposed to be impartial does that with your national flag?

News just come in that work has just started on the abandon refugees camp on a seperate island to restore it back in order to house future in-mates.

Looks like its getting serious!

Protesters appear unsure where to go next

From CNN's Helen Regan

Protesters now seem unsure where to go, after retreating from government headquarters where police fired tear gas and a water cannon. A large police presence has gathered on the roads nearby, and some protesters worried they may be hemmed in.

"There is no plan because police are all around," said one male protester decked out in riot gear. "If they come one way, we will run another way."

A police officer could be overheard speaking through a megaphone near where protesters have gathered on Queensway. "Leave immediately; this is an illegal protest," the officer said.

Huge police deployment sign of new zero tolerance

Analysis by CNN's James Griffiths

Hundreds of police officers in riot gear are on the streets of Admiralty, where tear gas and a water cannon have been used repeatedly against protesters throwing bricks and petrol bombs.

While tear gas has become a common sight in Hong Kong this summer, we haven't seen so many police officers on the streets in some time.
