1. Another Sunday, another massive protest in Hong Kong. A thread with what I saw and a few observations. #HongKongProtests #antiELAB
2. It was in Sha Tin in the New Territories, far from the areas where the previous protests happened. Again, a cross-section of people and it was peaceful. There were also some familiar faces, including Grandma Wong who is waving the British flag. (see previous thread)
3. One protester told me that they came out here because they want to bring the protest to the people. And as the rally snaked through the streets, there were banks of people on the bridges above cheering them on.

#HonKong Thread: Hong Kong protesters abandoned Facebook for other platforms - "Facebook is not a useful tool for the movement except for those celebrities and parties, on which they make announcements and deliver statements." euronews.com/2019/07/12/hon…
The 2014 Hong Kong generation was dependent on Facebook. Now, "most young people don't use Facebook anymore & turned to Snapchat or Instagram." At the core of the issue is Facebook's algorithm, which prioritizes posts triggering an intense debate in the comments.
"In 2014, Facebook amplified the disagreements between the various "school of thoughts". EconReporter wrote. "In 2014, the movement had no experience and leaders did not know how to handle it and promote democratic decisions within it," Han Mei said.

1. A thread on the latest #HongKongProtests. Yesterday saw another huge rally, with tens of thousands marching. Their focus was engaging mainland Chinese tourists/shoppers, many of whom don’t know what’s going on here because news about it is censored. ft.com/content/e4f93f…
2. The crowd was diverse but their demands (listed on this poster) were the same. They include full withdrawal of the extradition bill (it has been suspended & is effectively dead) and an investigation into police violence.
3. All of the people I spoke to thought storming the legislature last week (see below) was right. One middle aged couple said the government gave them no choice, saying chief executive Carrie Lam had not done enough. ft.com/content/edf5a2…

30 years ago today, the Chinese army brought a bloody end to weeks of student-led protests centered on Tiananmen Square.

The only commemoration of the massacre’s 30th anniversary to take place on Chinese soil was held in Hong Kong’s Victoria Park. ow.ly/8qIz30oSSbp
In Beijing, authorities took preemptive measures months before the 30th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests to thwart activists who might try in some way to observe the anniversary. ow.ly/dVY430oSUMj
Tiananmen Square massacre survivor Fang Zheng remembers the feeling of being dragged along the ground by a tank.

For him, the trauma of the day the Chinese army turned on its citizens is worsened by knowing the truth has been buried in mainland China. ow.ly/yIiM30oSUtR
