This is a great video from inside the "battle ground" inside the polytechnic university. This goes someway towards the explaination of why they abandon the Chinese university.

First, they were arguments between university's "students and outsiders"! And here in polytechnic university, that arguments obviously exist, as the university students here didn't bother to turn up! And its upsetting the "outsiders"!

Second, The Chinese university is in the middle of nowhere, with very little strategic value, here, this university sat right accross one of the busiest sea crossings in the world, and in doing so, they managed to shut the crossing down!

The rioters have alienated over a million Hong Kongers that need to use Tolo Highway and East Rail Line to get to work. The riot at CU is not insignificant event. It made many HKers especially the silent majority mad really mad. Many HKers live from hand to mouth. These retards don't understand the burden of supporting a family.

They've been transferring their assets to Citi bank and overseas to avoid confiscation i guess.

LOL Not with that money. They should be made to pay for damages by working in a labor camp for 3 cents an hour. Money's not the point; taking them off the streets is the point.

I wonder how triggered they would be if you started making fun of their failures after this thing is over. Really rub the salt in and laugh. Tell them how powerless they are against the CCP and how the CCP will always win. I wanna see how they respond.

Don't you people think that the current government maybe showing restraint because of the coming elections ? The current pro-establishment members would have a tough time selling themselves IF there was a harsh police crackdown. The pandems would get a boost. Be realistic.

From CNN's James Griffiths

After months of it feeling like the Hong Kong protests were almost settling into if not a lull, then at least some kind of routine, the last week has been nothing but escalation.

Only a week ago, a Hong Kong university student was shot by a police officer; later in the same day a man was set on fire following a dispute with protesters. A 70-year-old man was struck on the head with a brick and later died. Protesters fortified multiple campuses and police launched intense clearance operations.

This week shows no signs of slowing down. Today has already seen dramatic clashes at Polytechnic University, where a siege of the campus is still ongoing and police are cracking down on all those who leave, even as protests spring up elsewhere across the city in an attempt to relieve the pressure.

Throughout clashes Sunday night into Monday morning, protesters used petrol bombs and flaming arrows, as police responded with tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannon.

Both sides seem to be preparing for greater violence, with protesters making Molotov cocktails filled with a napalm-like substance and even apparently setting explosive booby traps on the PolyU campus. Meanwhile police have deployed snipers and officers could be seen patrolling with assault rifles after the force said it may use live rounds if the dispute continues.

It seems inevitable that images coming out of PolyU will further exacerbate anger and fuel more protests, even as the last major misstep by the government -- a ban on the wearing of masks using a colonial era law -- was ruled unconstitutional by a court this morning.

After almost six months of unrest, everything seems to be speeding up, and we may be on the verge of a turning point. The protests have not been bloodless, but those deaths which have occurred did so on the edges of the unrest -- the last week seems to indicate that we may be getting towards the point where fatalities become routine.

Anti-mask law to quell Hong Kong protests ruled unconstitutional by High Court
  • Judges find government’s use of emergency legislation for mask ban ‘incompatible with the Basic Law’
  • Group of 25 pan-democrats challenged government, which argued restriction necessary to tackle escalating protest violence
