Anti-Hong Kong propaganda made in China | DW News
China is ramping up its efforts to paint anti-government protesters in Hong Kong in a bad light.
Social media platforms Twitter and Facebook have shut down accounts targeting the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong.
The platforms said the accounts were part of a Chinese government disinformation campaign aimed at groups and individuals. Some of the images posted showed protesters as terrorists and cockroaches.
Twitter has suspended over 200.000 accounts, and plans to ban advertisements from state-run media. Posts on social media platforms are just one part of Beijing's propaganda war. State run TV is also playing a major role.

Hong Kong residents see new bridge as Chinese propaganda
The world's longest sea bridge is now officially open for traffic in China. It took almost a decade to build the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge, which spans 34 miles. But many in Hong Kong view the bridge as the Chinese government tightening its grip on the former British colony. Ben Tracy reports.

China Targets Hong Kong Activists in New Propaganda Video

China’s Communist Youth League published a propaganda video on Monday, August 1, targeting pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong, Taiwan’s president and the United States.
The video starts with images of refugees said to be from Iraq and the iconic photograph of the body of Syrian refugee Alan Kurdi. The Chinese subtitles state that China is a peaceful and stable society compared with war-torn countries such as Iraq, Syria and Ukraine, but warned this could be jeopardized by a potential color revolution.
The video highlighted Hong Kong student Joshua Wong, one of the leaders of the 2014 Occupy Central protests, and Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen, accusing them of trying to overthrow the Chinese government in the name of democracy, freedom and rule of law. The “dark shadow of the Stars and Stripes” hung over dissident in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet and Xinjiang against the Communist Party, according to the video. The video was shared on Weibo from the official account of China’s top prosecutor, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate.
The video also claimed that interference from the US , and other western countries, was responsible for the Soviet Union, Egypt, Syria and Libya falling into war and instability.
The video stated that “China will not be the next Soviet Union” because the authorities are aware of the potential for a color revolution and have taken measures to warn the people, including prosecuting human rights lawyers who “spread rumors online.”

China's Hong Kong PLA garrison commander warns against violence | DW news
The commander of the Chinese army's Hong Kong garrison has spoken out in strong terms against months of street protests in the territory. Chen Daoxiang said there had been a series of extremely violent incidents that challenged the rule of law and social order, the South China Morning Post quoted him as saying. This should not be tolerated, he said. Raising fears of military intervention, he gave his support to rigorous law enforcement.
His comments were echoed by Hong Kong's former chief executive Tung Chee-hwa, who said the protests were being orchestrated by the US and Taiwan and added that whatever violence was being deployed by protesters should be stopped.
As the South China Morning Post reported, the Chinese People's Liberation Army's garrison in Hong Kong also released a 3-minute video showing footage of an anti-riot drill, in which troops with shields and truncheons advance on protesters. All consequences are at your own risk, one soldier shouted in Cantonese, the main Chinese dialect in Hong Kong, during the video clip, which was posted on the garrison's official Weibo social media account.

Hong Kong protests: what's at stake for China? | The Economist
The Hong Kong protests are the most serious challenge to China's authority since the Tiananmen Square massacre. Read more about the Hong Kong protests here:
Click here to subscribe to The Economist on YouTube:
This protester calls himself “Bruce”. We’ve hidden his face and obscured his voice to protect his identity. He’s one of the millions of Hong Kongers taking to the streets.
What started as a protest against an extradition bill has become the most serious challenge to the Communist Party’s authority since the Tiananmen Square protest three decades ago. As the demonstrations enter a third month neither the government nor the protesters is willing to back down.
But it’s not enough to deter the demonstrators. So what happens now?
Hong Kong is one of the most important financial centres in the world. And it has a unique status. It’s a city in China but it’s not entirely Chinese. It has its own currency, its own passport… its own legal system. There’s even a boundary between Hong Kong and the rest of China and you need a permit to cross it. This is all down to its history.
In 1842 Hong Kong was ceded by the Chinese to the British after the first Opium War. But in 1997 Britain gave it back to China. With one important condition - for 50 years Hong Kong was to be governed under what is known as “one country, two systems”. The chief executive who runs Hong Kong would be appointed by a pro-Chinese committee. But the city was guaranteed a high degree of autonomy with its own government, legal system and economic independence until 2047. Over the past decade those rights have been eroded.
Fuller democracy, promised as part of the handover agreement has yet to be granted by China.
China’s grip has got ever tighter. In 2012 the government tried to install a patriotic pro-Chinese education system. Then five Hong Kong booksellers who sold material banned in mainland China disappeared. In 2016 pro-democracy opposition leaders were thrown out of Hong Kong’s parliament for insulting China when swearing their oaths. And then in February this year the government introduced a bill which would have allowed extradition to the mainland.
All this is fuelling the protesters’ anger.
As the protests get larger and more violent the chance of China intervening increases. Beijing has made thinly veiled threats to send in its military forces - the People’s Liberation Army.
In 1989 a student demonstration in Beijing ended in massacre. Hundreds, maybe thousands, were shot dead. For the Chinese government the Hong Kong demonstrators are defying the authority of a Communist leadership that cannot tolerate defiance. Another fear is some protesters’ demand for full independence. But military intervention would be a very risky strategy for Beijing
In 1993 Hong Kong’s GDP accounted for more than a quarter of mainland China’s. Today China’s remarkable rise means that Hong Kong’s economic output makes up less than 3% of the mainland’s. But Hong Kong remains important for China. Multinationals use it as a launch pad to the mainland and it gives Chinese companies access to the rest of the world.
So how the turmoil is resolved matters to more than just the people of Hong Kong.
This all comes at a time when China and America are waging a trade and technology war. Bloodshed on Hong Kong’s streets would make relations deteriorate even further. Beijing is now blaming outsiders for the trouble.
For China the situation has become much more than a dispute over a law. It’s become an existential threat. Bruce and the other protesters are holding their breath.
China’s Communist rulers must choose between two mortal dangers - the collapse of economic stability and prosperity, or the acceptance that protests can limit the Party’s absolute power.
