Police reportedly opened live fire and shot a person in the chest on Tuesday during protests against China’s National Day.
President Xi Jinping leads a parade designed to send a confident message that China’s military has modernized rapidly, amassing advanced military technology to rival U.S. power.Police had arrested 200 people in the previous three days, including a local news reporter, an activist and a pro-protest actor, and warned Monday that they expected protesters to take “hard-core” action such as arson and murder in police disguise.Officials held a flag-raising ceremony indoors with no public access.
Pun, 21, a protester in the Sha Tin suburb who asked not to use his full name for protection from authorities, said he hadn’t watched Beijing’s military parade. “Hong Kong doesn’t have its own national day yet, just the days we were colonized. When we do, I’ll celebrate that.” Encountering an image of Chinese leader Xi Jinping, protesters spray-painted his face black and wrote on the walls: “May the heavens destroy the Communist Party” and “Xi, go hang yourself.”
Others marched with Republic of China flags, waving what’s become Taiwan’s flag but once represented the first government that ruled China after overturning the Qing Dynasty in 1911.
