Hong Kong 1.7 million people at the protest rally uncertain whether there will be no collision with the police August 19th 4:04
On October 18 in Hong Kong, where protests continue, a large rally was held with a call of about 1.7 million people called for by democratic groups, and participants held a demonstration marching that the police did not allow. There was no conflict with the police concerned, but it is still unclear whether the confusion will converge.
In Hong Kong, protests have been ongoing for over two months over a draft amendment to the ordinance that will allow the suspects to be handed over to mainland China.
Under such circumstances, a large-scale rally was held on the 18th at the appeal of a democratic organization, protesting the response to the Hong Kong government and police, and about 1.7 million people participated in the announcement of the organizer.
It was organized by this group and about 2 million people participated. This was the second largest after the June protests, and it showed that there was still strong dissatisfaction with the government.
This time, the police did not approve the march, but the participants left the meeting hall and performed a march while protesting.
In the protests so far, some young people have become radical and have collided with the police one after another, but there have been no conflicts with the police concerned.
In Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China, adjacent to Hong Kong, armed police under the command of the Chinese army are gathered, and it seems that there is also the aim of controlling the spread of protests.
In Hong Kong, after the movement of the Chinese armed police was reported, there were no major clashes for three consecutive days until the 18th, but it is still unclear whether the confusion will converge in the future.
