      Pro-BJ Federation of Trade Union’s Worker’s Club building in To Kwa Wan was sprayed painted to become “Federation of Rioters”, referring to the group’s role in 1967 leftist riots. Pineapples were placed on the floor, mocking leftists for putting up grenades at the time.pic.twitter.com/7p5GoFrOxx

          “Captain America” however said his protective gear is actually made in China, and ordered through Taobao. It costs about RMB¥1,000. #hongkongprotestspic.twitter.com/0mM2FdcGbr

          Why so many mainland tourists in hung hom? Simply because of the rail link?
