Hong Kong office workers begin week of lunchtime protests

"선거 압승에도 달라진 게 없다"…홍콩 시위 다시 격화

Hundreds of office workers in Hong Kong's business district rallied on Monday,... for the first in a week of lunchtime pro-democracy protests.
China also says it's suspending U.S. Navy visits to Hong Kong in retaliation for the passage of legislation supporting human rights on the island.
Lee Seung-jae has more.
The protests rumble on in Hong Kong.
This time,... hundreds of office workers in the central business district gathered on Monday,... for the start of a week-long series of lunchtime protests,... backing the pro-democracy movement after its resounding victory in district polls last month.
Despite violent clashes with police on Sunday,... there were no such confrontations during the two-hour long rally,... as people went back to their offices after a demonstration of solidarity with the protesters.
Monday's rally seemed to be aimed specifically at bringing in more office workers from advertising agencies,... in a bid to build publicity.
Some of the workers in the field say they're trying to be the first industry to come out and stop working for five days.
They say they will stop working for companies, and instead use their talents to advertise for the movement,... designing posters and leaflets.
Meanwhile, China on Monday said it would suspend U.S. Navy visits to Hong Kong,... and sanction a number of pro-democracy non-governmental organizations,... amid the human rights legislation which was passed last week by the U.S.
China's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying called on Washington to correct "their mistakes" and stop interfering in Hong Kong and Chinese internal affairs.
"China urges the U.S. to correct their mistakes, stop words and deeds to interfere in Hong Kong affairs and other Chinese internal affairs. China will take further necessary moves in accordance with the development of the situation, and will firmly protect the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong, as well as China's sovereignty, security and development interests."
Watchers say Washington's support of Hong Kong may ultimately affect the ongoing trade talks between the U.S. and China,... and may lead to further tensions between the world's two biggest economies.

The "HK human right and democracy act" is a US internal policy. China has no authority to regulate US policy to others, visa or citizenship approval in US, and who assets to freeze in US. If China dont like US policy, dont do business with US, dont come to US, dont invest into US.

So the China government should establish an internal policy (also apply to themselves and their family members) : dont buy any US products (specifically I phone), give up all the US citizenship, ban anyone from china come to US, and send all their assets from US back to China.

China is angry because most of the rich and China government officials and their family members are living in US and hiding their assets in US.
