Hong Kong protesters beg Trump to ‘liberate’ city

Thousands of protesters in Hong Kong on Sunday chanted the US national anthem and called on President Trump to “liberate” the Chinese-ruled city.

The throngs, wearing black shirts and masks, waved American flags​, carried posters that read, “President Trump, please liberate Hong Kong”​ and sang “The Star-Spangled Banner”​ as they marched to the US Consulate under the watchful eyes of riot police.

“Hong Kong is at the forefront of the battle against the totalitarian regime of China,” Panzer Chan, one of the organizers of ​the ​march​, told the Associated Press. “Please support us in our fight.”
