      Hong Kong protests are in their fifth month despite an escalating crackdown. How? One surprising answer: the fate of China's Uyghurs. Many talked to me about it. They watched and learned. They've decided that they "may as well go down fighting."

      Also there were attempts at Uyghur solidarity rallies in Hong Kong, as well as banners in other events. See poster below. Next to it is a banner raised on November 2nd. (Police ban everything but people march anyway).pic.twitter.com/s8dTX4J8eo

      As I write in the piece upthread, when I started interviewing Hong Kong protesters in summer, I was told by others that it will calm when schools open. Nope. Now they’re closing schools early. What happens when people in power believe their own propaganda.https://twitter.com/maryhui/status/1194565420881047552 …

      True. We’d rather die on our feet than to live on our knees. It’s not only a statement on the wall, students at Chinese University showed us they mean it! And many hong kongers are with them!

      Seems that the government of Hong Kong thinks escalating the crackdown is the way to go. What a profound misreading of the protests. The only kind of crackdown that will work will be the kind of crackdown that makes Hong Kong not at all Hong Kong anymore.https://twitter.com/xinqisu/status/1194655128936013824 …

      @appledaily_hk reports per source(s) that suggestions of escalating force, imposing district-based curfews and cancelling district council election on 11.24 were discussed at the meeting. 【抗暴之戰】林鄭夜會問責官員 傳討論宵禁及取消區選 https://s.nextmedia.com/realtime/a.php?i=20191113&s=6996647&a=60264044 …

      I've come across this—Hong Kong protesters, medics etc. carrying wills on them. The government is apparently thinking of escalating the crackdown. If people are at the "wearing a shroud to the protest" stage, the crackdown would mean something unthinkable. https://twitter.com/hkwuliff/status/1194525119462297600 …

      So this man is likely a white-collar employee at a big financial institution or corporation in Hong Kong (judging from the location). The police do all this in full view of people recording. It’s like designed to keep people from all walks of life united.https://twitter.com/woppa1woppa/status/1194757744508588032 …

      Central. Last night a citizen was getting off work near The Landmark and got pepper sprayed. When he used English to explain his office was 500m away, #HKPolice got extremely agitated.

      So @niubi (and others) argue that the “enemy of the people” language from Hong Kong government signals plan to let chaos engulf the city—with blame falling on protesters. That might be their plan but it’s not gonna work if police teargas cars before 9 AM.https://twitter.com/tricialing/status/1194787634767265792 …

      Yesterday, white collar workers in Hong Kong’s upscale financial district were breaking up bricks and joining human chains to pass them up to form barricades. They’re out today, too. HK government will have to either crackdown down maximally or back down.https://twitter.com/joceanw/status/1194860050277269505 …

      Foreign students were evacuated from CUHK on Saturday. This could pave the way for a "maximal crackdown" as you put it
