Didn't see a thread on this, kinda surprised, I suppose you guys don't sit on a role play forum to discuss real world events. But oh well, thought it would be worth raising awareness on this as right now this is a major world event whether you realise it or not.

I wont do much justice of explaining the situation here so I will direct you all to some decent resources so you can give it a good read if you so desire;

Subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/HongKong/

Admittedly reddit is about as reliable as a Nigerian bank account, however considering most news networks are staunchly against the Hong Kong protests... because... China, you wont find a much more reliable source.

BBC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-50465337

I don't like BBC too much, in fact I don't really like western media, however this is detailed coverage of the ongoing standoff at the university as of 19/11/2019.

The situation is rather dire, western countries are mostly unwilling to help whilst citizens are risking their lives fighting for a revolution to guarantee their freedom from a totalitarian state. Its also worth noting these protesters would rather die than face prosecution, hence why their fighting and tactics is desperate, and for good reason too. 

Violence is never the answer and I hate to see something that could easily be resolved diplomatically turn into such disarray, but I suppose we need to remember this is China, a world superpower that just so happens to be a totalitarian dictatorship surveillance state.

If you have any questions, thoughts, opinions or anything to add, feel free to leave a post below, I would appreciate it.
