Today's march in Hong Kong is a textbook example of why "violent" and "peaceful" protests are not categories you can meaningfully use here. Something like a hundred thousand people attempted to march. They got a letter of no objection, planned the route, all to no avail

A day after this march we have estimates that it may have excedeed 300,000 people. Back in June (and Hong Kongers, please correct me) I feel like this would have forced the government to at least issue a statement. Today, they don't even consider it worthy of comment.

Thanks for the summary, what the HongKong police, the Chinese government etc. really just seem worried that their reign is slowly but surely coming to an end. Otherwise it leaves me baffled.

I noticed that too, part of their complete disregard of our voices.

The march nowadays is to show to the world that the government is still completely ignoring all peaceful demonstration. Gov countering it by sending hk police to make peaceful demonstration looks violence, but the world knows the truth.
