Hong Kong 2019-2020 A lot of interesting things happened during 2020, but one lingering issue is Hong Kong's residents and their issues with China (mainland) taking a more serious stands on the region's politics. On the side we have 3 parts of the protest: 1. The crowds protesting China. 2. Protesters and civilians paying their respects to a young man who past away during the early stages of the protests. 3. Parents and kids marching on the streets to protest police and government officials using tear gas indiscriminately. These tear gas canasters were being used next to schools and parks and kids were affected by their use.
