Chinese tourists allegedly interrupted a protest in Taiwan held by Hong Kongers, knocked down several flags and shouted: “Taiwan and Hong Kong belong to China"

Hong Kong democracy activists were holding a demonstration as Tuesday was China’s National Day.

A video posted online by civic group Hong Kong Outlanders shows a couple, who are allegedly Chinese, during the demonstration.

“Today is China’s National Day, and I won’t allow the displaying of these flags,” the male yells in the video before pushing some demonstrators and knocking down a few flagpoles.

“Today is to commemorate Hong Kong’s martyrs. We do not celebrate China’s National Day,” it quoted a demonstrator as saying. “We are in Taiwan, and people are free to express their opinion.”

“You cannot touch other people’s belongings… We are asking you to leave now,” Lee said, before he called the police.

The man refused to leave and kept saying that “China has sovereignty over Taiwan,” and that “Taiwan and Hong Kong belong to China.”

“Taiwan belongs to Taiwanese, and Hong Kong belongs to Hong Kongers,” the demonstrators said in response.

Later, police officers arrived at the scene and persuaded the couple to leave.

    Of course Taiwan celebrates China’s national day. It proudly celebrates the establishment of the first and only democratic Chinese state every year on 10th October.

        did you visits a school yet?

        it never was chinese. maybe check what happened between 1895-1945. before that the chinese scum eradicated the indigenous people. in 1949 the chinese cowards retreated from the stolen land. (Chiang Kai-sheks) so rule of war from 1949-1987. and then in the 90s some chinese wankers had to compensate for their small dicks and had (again) fantasies of anexing taiwan, hongkong, vietnam, tibet etc.

        basically china is a shit land with very shit people.
