Hong Kong protests: A city’s identity crisis – BBC News
Hong Kong’s protests have become increasingly violent as they continue into their sixth month.
The fabric of the place is unravelling – attitudes are hardening between the demonstrators and the police, between mainlanders and Hongkongers and even down the middle of families.
The BBC’s Paul Adams explores what’s really at stake for this troubled city.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

As to clarify, I am sorry for what my country did to Hong Kong. However, previously, Hong Kong what part of China. This is why China has been trying to get Hong Kong back into its rule. The separation of honk king and China happened due to the British empire and other European countries invading early China (no offense I don’t hate europeans for this) As honk kong was a flourishing place back then, the British empire had thus overtaken it and influenced the people with English. This caused the people to not learn Chinese and slowly be separated from China. However, I also think that China should not force honk kong, as everyone wants freedom. ( if you have different thoughts just comment it or dislike this don’t hate)

Hong Kong was prosperous and far more advanced than China in the past. They see their culture far more superior, unique and different, and was very proud of their colonial heritage.
Those arrogant young people just cannot accept the fact that today, China has surpassed them. They are living in utopia that "Hong Kong supposed to be greater, richer, stronger than the whole China". They just feel ashamed that the people once they looked down in the past, is now turning into global superpower.

An extremely biased British propaganda video ! 300,000 or more HKners that had immigrated to Canada, Australia, U.K. and the U.S. before 1997 and also a substantial number of HKners immigrated to these countries after 1997 had voted with their feet and returned to live in Hong Kong.

I honestly couldn’t pick out which standpoint BBC was taking and I’m pretty sure that’s a good thing. However I don’t think there should be a neutrality about communism, but that’s also not up to the media.

Hong Kong rioters attacked a Pregnant woman!!! I think many rioters are on drug with mental health problem. They could not control themselves when they lose their argument and turned in violence. We have seen that many times.
