    https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/world-news/china-us-is-behind-hong-kong-protests/articleshow/70456727.cms

  • Why China claims US, UK behind HK protests - Asia Times

    https://www.asiatimes.com/2019/08/opinion/why-china-claims-us-uk-behind-hk-protests/
    If the Chinese accusation that the US and UK were behind the "pro-democracy" protests is true, they will likely be more intense and violent in the future.
