Hong Kong Once Again Warns Against Foreign Interference In Protests

Anti-government protesters in Hong Kong marched to the US consulate seeking support from the Trump administration. Thousands waved American flags and sang the US national anthem. The protests turned violent as police used tear gas on demonstrators who vandalized a subway station. Chinese state media accused foreign forces of influencing the protests and warned against attempts to separate Hong Kong from China. The march also aimed to urge US lawmakers to pass the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, which would require annual assessments of Hong Kong's status as a US trading partner and impose sanctions on those undermining its autonomy.
