  3. 12/4 Hong Kong democracy march (Updated Dec 5th)

    Youve got to hand it to the organisers, a march in a crisp, clear and sunny winters afternoon sure beats marching in the middle of the summer heat. With the Government and tycoons doing almost everything in their power to make people turn up …

  8. hi sam, it was me who left a comment on your flickr photo =)
    in chinese, their slogan says “消滅中共” which means “eliminate the CCP”…
    and here are examples of the banners i mentioned:

    the white banner says:
    中共不等於中國
    中共等於反中國
    which basically means:
    CCP does not equal to China
    CCP equals to anti-China

    the flags say:
    天滅中共
    which means:
    CCP be eliminated by “the sky” = God
    but as i said, 99% of the marchers cried for universal suffrage, which was the original theme of the demonstration.

  9. Thanks Ryanne.
    I noticed the number of anti-CCP banners too. And the Taiwanese flags. I talked to some of the people holding the Taiwanese flags (they were a youth group (China Youth Service and Recreation Centre), and they were..well..not mild.
    Your comment was interesting. I had thought that the anti-CCP signs weren’t entirely helping the cause.
