[ What we expect from a place like Communist China ... but I read this and think gee, our own media is pretty misleading too. See the following post. ]

Hong Kong riot police fired teargas, pepper spray for the first time since 2005 this weekend to disperse pro-democracy demonstrators. Thousands of protesters blocked the main street to the financial district on September 28.

The Hong Kong democracy protesters gave the Chinese government a Wednesday deadline to meet their demands for political reforms. Hong Kong’s chief executive Leung Chun-ying said that Beijing would not reverse its decision to hand-pick eligible candidates to lead the former British colony.

This is how the China media reported on the massive protests in Hong Kong:
“Thousands of people come out to celebrate the National Day of China”


One Hong Kong policeman posted this on Facebook:
“Really disappointed that no protesters die”
