The police are standing at Victoria Park warning people that assembly is illegal.... while hundreds if not thousands of people stream into the park in front of them to commemorate the 31st anniversary of the Tiananmen massacre. #HongKongProtests #June4

I took a cab from the June 4 museum to Victoria Park. This was what my fare came out to. 
It’s still early, but there seem to be more white people here than at any other June 4 commemoration I’ve been to over the years. A sign of shifting attitudes from the expat community re: participating in protests in HK?
Hong Kong’s annual Tiananmen commemoration was always among the least controversial / most mainstream of the protests. This year, people are chanting for HK independence – “the only way out”.
