Hong Kong and global revolt
The struggle for democratic reform continues in Hong Kong. On Sunday 15 December, there were ‘Christmas Shopping’ demonstrations in seven shopping malls across Hong Kong. The demonstrators chanted slogans, spray-painted businesses supporting the government, and fought back against the police. Later, in Mong Kok, the police broke up another demonstration, injuring several journalists in the process. On Sunday 8 December, an estimated 800,000 people marched in Hong Kong against the government. Coming two weeks after the overwhelming pro-democracy victory in the District Council elections, the huge and peaceful demonstration was another emphatic display of popular support for the democratization movement. All welcome at this discussion introduced by Charlie Hore.
