> Today is the anniversary of China as a communist country. The Hong Kong marchers were all wearing black today as a sign of mourning. That is why the kids are dressed in black (so please, no black bloc/antifa comments.) The Chinese color of mourning is white, not black as it is in the west. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_in_Chinese_culture#White https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_in_Chinese_culture#White > White is also the color of mourning. It is associated with death and is used predominantly in funerals in Chinese culture.[3] Ancient Chinese people wore white clothes and hats only when they mourned for the dead. They have been intentionally reaching out to the west though. Perhaps they're intentionally appealing to western sensibilities.
