    One of the things Hong Kongers feared about the extradition law—being charged w a crime that authorities make up on a whim—appears to be playing out as police harass shopkeepers who sell helmets/masks, & arrest a student for buying laser pointers (rebranded by cops as laser guns)https://twitter.com/ShibaniMahtani/status/1161977179346837504 …

    HK police are paying visits to shops that sell gas masks, helmets and other protective gear. Authorities are clamping down on their sale and import. “Nowadays, we work like smugglers, we have to hide from the government" https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/a-run-on-gas-masks-hong-kong-protesters-circumvent-crackdown-on-protective-gear/2019/08/15/2c543030-be57-11e9-b873-63ace636af08_story.html … by @caseyquack for @washingtonpost

        C'mon! If protesters *really* had laser guns, this thing would've been over already.

        I think nobody knows that in 1955 a Cathay Pacific pilot tried to blow up the plane of the Chinese Premier at the time. Chinese people hold on to grudges...long time.

        I have lived in Beijing and Shanghai more than 30 years, and NO ONE around me has ever been charged with the ‘made-up crime’ by local authorities. How would you explain this? Please do not make up fake news if you do not know about China.

        And didn't Beijing start harassing companies who allow staff to protest?
