China-Born Woman Criticizes Hong Kong Police and Xi Jinping: "You can't deceive me!"
1738 | Causeway Bay
In the afternoon, riot police continued to stop and search pedestrians in Causeway Bay. A 50-year-old woman with Chinese Mandarin accent told the press when she was being searched outside Hysan Place, some officers complained to her the “violent behavior” of some protestors, to which she responded with “stop bullying the kids!”.
Surprised by her response, police officers threatened to subdue her by counting “1, 2, 3”, but she was eventually let go.
“They can’t deceive me!” said the woman. She told the press that she moved to Hong Kong in 2002, witnessing the corruption in China, which prompted her to support the movement. In response to the introduction of the National Security Law, she criticized Xi Jinping as being “ungrateful.” “So many mainlanders came to Hong Kong for safety. Now you are turning Hong Kong into the mainland.”
