Michael_Yon, Hong Kong reporter; in re: Why are the HK police so big compared to the HK population; with such big shoulders and unusual training; why do they look like PLA soldiers? They shot one reporter in the face on Sunday night with a kinetic round, beat up others; were very violent toward other citizens. One came up, very tall, shoulder-surfing & looking at my videos, very fit, wearing a mask with glasses and no name tab or identifying feature. Spoke English well. Doesn't sound at all like the Hong Kong police, who are shorter and thinner than I [Gordon Chang] am. Every HK cop wears ID. These are PLA officers; they use chemicals in water cannon and chemicals in other uses: illegal in civilian but not military use.





Rotated in from PLA and State Security. Carrie Lam, doing her duty visit to Beijing, where Xi expressed report for her; when she returns to HK, what will happen?
