That is a huge gap in possible participants.

Is there any foreign media on the ground?

We've been independent for quite a while, despite whatever BS China & the CCP says.

I want HK to become a independent city state like Singapore.

Part of it is how they do their estimates. I believe the official estimate from the Hong Kong police force is only counting the number of registered protesters and just on the Block where they have permission to protest. They're not counting the spillover, or people who just decided to arrive so their number is probably well below reality.

China can't pull a Tiananmen in 2019 right? With smartphones and internet the backlash would be much much worse right?

Since when has China ever cared about outsiders opinions.

It does "Whatever it wants".

But conversely it wants to be involved in world affairs as if it's playing by the rules.

I was about to ask they wouldn't risk tarnishing their goodwill to prevent people / countries stopp doing business with them, but then again alot of countries still deal with the likes of saudis.

Man i hope these people are safe.

These people at this protest will be. China may want to assert more control, but they're not dumb enough to just send in the army. The whole reason they stacked the last HK elections with loyalists and are trying to pass these bills is so they can just quietly vanish away the more vocal dissidents over time until the government is fully able to approve measures to merge with the mainland.

What will likely happen is Winnie the Pooh will start to push a lot harder on the government to change the laws because he can't stand criticism, especially in a region I'm willing to bet he believes is already "his" to control.

All in all this seems relatively civil but they're arguing against something that shouldn't exist, which is understandable. You can't just send people to China because Hong Kong is part of China, it's not right.

A BBC reporter got to tour one of China's muslum "reeducation camps". They pointed out that satellite photos showed that the facility was renovated to make it look less prison like before their visit.
