- mzs 7y agoIf this first-hand account from a person on twitter[0] is to be believed, it isn't. This is a reply to a thread of photos from a WSJ journo on the ground from a few hours ago. The photos are interesting in themselves. 0: https://twitter.com/mbspinks/status/1138728407464796160 https://twitter.com/mbspinks/status/1138728407464796160
- baybal2 7y ago> How is this being reported in mainland China? Nohow, at least in newspapers. Though, I see a lot of curious people checking out events on their phones. Most look at it with some bemusement.
- fma 7y agoThat's the beauty of state controlled media and the Great Firewall of China. It doesn't get reported much, and the parts that are is only the pro-Beijing opinion. To appear to provide an unbiased opinion, they will quote pro-Beijing Hong Kong news sources.
- larrysalibra 7y agoThis is how it's being reported if it's reported at all: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/hkedition/2019-06/10/content_37478727.htm http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/hkedition/2019-06/10/content_37...
- codezero 7y agoWeird question, maybe a coincidence, but does anyone know why most of the signs are blue? Is that significant at all?
- larrysalibra 7y agoDuring the 2014 Umbrella movement protests, blue came to represent supporters of the police and the government and yellow, the protestors.
- codezero 7y agoAwesome, thanks for the context. That's really interesting.
- kevin_b_er 7y agoIt is probably being suppressed from news and public discussion.
