oct 4, 2019 - ¨Hong Kong descended into chaos. In flag-covered Beijing, almost no one noticed¨ CNN

Description:

On October 1st China celebrated its national day representing 70 years of The Republic of China. Large displays were made by the Chinese government in Beijing, including a military parade. However in Hong Kong, on this day, demonstrations and protests quickly escalated into fighting in the streets with one protester even being shot. This was the first time lethal force had been used in the 17 weeks of demonstrations. Due to the Chinese government's censorship, which was increased even more because of the celebration, many people did not know about the protests in Hong Kong and watched propaganda praising the Chinese Government's achievements.
