The protesters defied a police ban to march along a broad city thoroughfare, chanting anti-China slogans and carrying Chinese flags defaced with a black cross.Chaos erupted as hundreds of riot-equipped police swooped in to try and break up the protests, and CBS News correspondent Ramy Inocencio said video posted online appeared to show one protester being shot at almost point-blank range in the chest by a police officer with a handgun. The wounded protester survived and was being treated for his injury.Leading pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong told CBS News that he and the other demonstrators felt it was their duty to turn the "dream" of enduring democracy in Hong Kong into a reality, but Inocencio said the scenes on Tuesday were more of a nightmare.,,,Last Edit by Palmerston
Perhaps the thread title should be "Trump starts Cold War with China"
Maybe if these commies were less like Stalin or Hitler ...
Largest, fastest growing economy on the planet . . . .Not entirely sure that China has a "communist" govt - - >Sure it claims to be communist, but the liberals claim to be liberal and they are the worst fascists, the socialists claim to be for the people when they are for the bankster classes, . . . I could go on about any political party ;-)The comical part, is the one sure fire thing that we can label China is "nationalist".Last, do you now support the Muslims ?Do you where a "I LUV ISLAM" t-shirt ?
