You already know about HK. This is my thread on the related & lesser known (censored) movements of South China (2010-2019)
The CCP wanted to replace Cantonese broadcasts in Guangzhou (where Cantonese originated) with Mandarin. More than 10,000 Cantonese speakers marched to preserve our language.
And HK stood in solidarity
This brings the South China protest movement full circle. And in 3 years, Hong Kong would ignite again over ELAB
Hong Kong, you arenβt alone
Oh, and the vid is from Maoming θε, near Guangxi.
Maoming rose in 2014 against a proposed petrochemical plant (PX) - 15 died in the clash. More than 200 people protested in GZ, followed by 20 in Shenzhen: they only lasted 10mins before the police came to arrest them
