Holding up signs reading “Liberate Hong Kong” and “Free Hong Kong from China Colonization,” the protesters requested at each stop that the governments participating in the G20 summit this week mention China’s attempts to take over Hong Kong, which legally operates as a distinct, capitalist entity within the Chinese state.
Chinese officials have stated they will “not allow” discussion of Hong Kong at the summit, though they have no power to stop other world leaders from speaking out about Beijing’s attempts to oppress the city.
