Here's amother lesson on how to distort facts to suit your narratives by the MSM, the Guardian.
If I was reading this, and if I don't know any better, I, too would become anti-chinese for their "brutal behaviour"!
I quote the articles below
Hong Kong police clash with protesters after Uighur rally
"Police pepper-spray demonstrators after peaceful protest in support of minority
Hong Kong riot police pepper-sprayed protesters to disperse crowds in the heart of the city’s financial district after a largely peaceful rally in support of China’s ethnic Uighurs turned chaotic.
Dozens of police marched across a public square overlooking Hong Kong’s harbour on Sunday to confront protesters who hurled glass bottles and rocks at them.
Earlier in the afternoon, more than 1,000 people had attended a peaceful rally, waving Uighur flags and posters as they took part in the latest demonstration in more than six months of unrest.
A mixed crowd of young and older people, dressed in black and wearing masks to hide their identities, held up signs reading: “Free Uyghur, Free Hong Kong” and “Fake ‘autonomy’ in China results in genocide”.
The Arsenal footballer Mesut Özil caused a furore in China last week when he
toward the Muslim ethnic minority in the restive north-western region of Xinjiang.
Özil, a German Muslim of Turkish origin, tweeted that Uighurs were “warriors who resist persecution” and criticised both China’s strong hand in Xinjiang and the relative silence of Muslims in response.
“I think basic freedom and independence should exist for all people, not just for Hong Kong,” said a 41-year-old woman surnamed Wong, who attended the protest with her husband.
United Nations experts and activists say at least 1 million Uighurs and members of other largely Muslim minority groups have been detained in camps in Xinjiang since 2017 under a campaign that has been condemned by the US and other countries.
Beijing says it is providing vocational training to help stamp out separatism and to teach new skills. It denies any mistreatment of Uighurs.
Protests in Hong Kong are in their seventh month, albeit in a relative year-end lull. Many residents are angry at what they see as Chinese meddling in the freedoms promised to the former British colony when it returned to Chinese rule in 1997.
China denies interfering and says it is committed to the “one country, two systems” formula put in place at that time and has blamed foreign forces for fomenting unrest.
On Saturday, Hong Kong riot police swept into several shopping centres, chasing off and arresting demonstrators pressing their demands in the peak shopping weekend before Christmas.
The police’s heavy-handed clampdown on demonstrations and frequent use of teargas have incensed many protesters, whose demands include full democracy and an independent investigation into perceived police brutality.
The protests, which started in June, have pushed Hong Kong’s economy into recession. Retailers and businesses have been hit hard as tourists stay away amid transport disruptions.
The city’s financial secretary, Paul Chan, in his blog on Sunday, said there could be a wave of business closures in the new year if market conditions did not improve."
Now, nowhere did it mentioned the rioters starred it by disrepecting the national flag, (a criminal offence any where in the world). The whole Uighui demo is against the law any where in China, and since Hong Kong is part if China, it comes under the same law. Hong Kong's freedom and law is internal to Hong Kong only, and when it tried to enticed the world to the causes of terrorist as in the Uighuis, then it falls under Chinese law!
The police moved in to collect the flag, as it is their duty and honour to do do, but was then attacked by the thugs. They even tried to snatch a policeman's gun. (all this is recorded, but nin shown on the MSM)!
In addition, the police only managed to arrest ONE thug!
Here are some photos of the incident. They are not in any sequential order. I'll try to links videos when I get time.
