https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...cy-leader-joshua-wong-arrested-says-demosistoThree prominent pro-democracy figures have been arrested in Hong Kong in an apparent crackdown amid protests that have plunged the city into its worst political crisis in decades.
Democracy activists Joshua Wong and Agnes Chow, former student leaders of pro-democracy protests in 2014, were arrested on Friday and Andy Chan, head of a now banned pro-independence party, was detained by police on Thursday.
Chow and Wong’s political organisation, Demosisto, said Wong was “forcefully pushed into a private minivan on the street” while walking to a subway station at about 7.30am. He was then taken to police headquarters in Wan Chai. Chow was arrested at her home and also taken to the Wan Chai police headquarters, according to Demosisto.
Police said Chow and Wong were arrested on suspicion of “inciting others to participate in an unauthorised assembly” as well as “knowingly participating in an unauthorised assembly” during protests outside of police headquarters on 21 June. Wong has also been accused of organising an unlawful assembly.
“Both have been detained for investigation,” the police said in a statement.
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/08/29/hong_kong_isps_great_firewall_protests_china/The Hong Kong ISP Association (HKISPA) reckons any moves by China to shut off the semi-autonomous territory's uncensored internet connection, African dictator-style, "would immediately and permanently deter international businesses" from staying in the one-time British colony.
Amid ongoing months of protests against the tightening noose of Communist Chinese laws and customs, Hong Kong residents have made increasing use of social media to both organise themselves and to broadcast images and video to the watching world.
Naturally, such uninhibited speech is kryptonite to the mainland Chinese and the HKIPSA appear to have intervened in a public plea not to harm the territory's increasingly internet-dependent economy.
Nyt menee jo vähän paksuksi. Jenkkien kansallislaulu raikaa.

https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-10948565Hongkongissa mielenosoittajat ja mellakkapoliisit ovat ottaneet yhteen erityisalueen parlamenttirakennuksen edustalla.
Poliisi käytti kyynelkaasua ja vesitykkejä hajottaakseen mielenosoituksen lakiasäätävän parlamentin edustalla.
Vesitykkien vesi oli värjätty siniseksi, jotta poliisi voisi sen avulla tunnistaa mielenosoitukseen osallistuneita.
Osa mielenosoittajista heitteli polttopulloja ja katukiviä poliiseja kohti. Sekasorto jatkui Hongkongin liikekeskustassa, jossa hallitusrakennuksilta vetäytyvät mielenosoittajat rakensivat barrikadeja.
Mielenosoitukset osuvat vuosipäivälle: Viisi vuotta sitten Kiina eväsi täysin demokraattisten vaalien pitämisen Hongkongissa.
Kiinan tasavalta on kehittynyt länsimaa, mutta tuskin demokraattinenkaan hallinto olisi koko mannerta puolessa vuosisadassa (ja Kiinan tasavaltakaan ei ole ollut vapaa 'valtiollisesta ohjauksesta' niin kauaa) onnistunut nostamaan keskiajalta kuten tasavaltalainen hallitus on tehnyt Formosan saarella.Millainen Kiina olisi jos siellä olisi demokratia diktatuurian taikka kommunistiliiton sijasta?
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...lution-no-war-is-without-bloodshed-protestersAnger is rising as the government crackdown intensifies, and protesters say they are prepared for confrontation and sacrifice
Ryan Lee, a 27-year-old computer engineer, only started taking part in Hong Kong’s demonstrations in June. Since then, it has been a steep learning curve.
He has tackled a police officer to the ground to rescue another protester, tossed teargas canisters back at the police and covered the gas grenades with the metal dishes commonly used in Hong Kong for steaming fish.
Within weeks Lee has transformed into a militant “fighter” – one of the black-clad protesters in full protective gear who have faced off week after week with police behind makeshift barricades.
Saturday was no exception – violent clashes between protesters and police erupted throughout the city as they marched to mark the fifth anniversary of a decision by Beijing to limit democratic reforms.
“We need a revolution to start afresh, but unfortunately we’re under China,” Chan said. “My demand is actually very simple: I just want a real Hong Kong under a genuine ‘one country, two systems’ [principle].”
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...tens-retaliation-over-u-s-arms-sale-to-taiwanChina vowed retaliation against a proposed $8 billion U.S. sale of advanced fighter jets to Taiwan, threatening to impose sanctions on American firms participating in such a deal.
“China will take all necessary measures to defend its own interests, including imposing sanctions on the U.S. companies involved in the arm sales,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said at a Wednesday briefing in Beijing. “They constitute severe interference in China’s internal affairs and undermine China’s sovereignty and security interests.”
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hong-k...-action-china-warns-end-is-coming-2019-09-01/On Monday an editorial in Chinese state media warned “the end is coming for those attempting to disrupt Hong Kong.”
It didn’t give detail on any specific upcoming action, but it could be referring to a potential crackdown by Chinese troops, who have massed both inside Hong Kong territory, and just across the border in southern China.
