Shenzhen, China As protests continue to sweep through Hong Kong, large numbers of China's paramilitary force are just miles away from Hong Kong's border with mainland China, according to a CNN team on the ground in Shenzhen.
CNN saw uniformed members of the People's Armed Police Force with riot shields and batons at the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center. The PAP is the 1.5 million-member paramilitary force the government regularly deploys to quell protests within its borders. It is under the command of China's central military commission, headed by Chinese President Xi Jinping.Satellite imagery shows Chinese military vehicles congregating near Hong Kong's border.

In recent months, as the crisis has built up, the PAP has"increased readiness levels," as well as making public shows of forces with anti-riot training. Earlier this week, Chinese state media circulated videos purporting to show an increased military presence in the city of Shenzhen.
