Hundreds of pro-China protesters rally in Hong Kong to denounce increasingly violent anti-government unrest in the Chinese-ruled city
Pro-government supporters show their support for the police and government during a rally in Hong Kong, China, November 16, 2019.
Saturday's crowd was a mix of young and elderly, some of whom had brought their children along to the rally. Police have kept their distance for more than two days, but many observers are afraid of what happens if and when they move in. "In 2014, we were peaceful and occupying to raise awareness. Now, it's 'if you don't agree with me, you are against me and I will throw Molotov cocktails at you'."Hong Kong returned to Chinese rule under a "one country, two systems" formula guaranteeing its colonial-era freedoms. Protesters' demands include full democracy and an independent investigation into perceived police brutality.
