Officers returned fire with tear gas as they clashed with hundreds of protesters following a march against the government’s installation of “smart lampposts”, which are equipped with cameras and sensors. The government has said the lampposts will only collect air quality, traffic and weather data, but protesters fear they could be used for surveillance.

Protests are everywhere, from a 28 mile human chain blocking train stations to this violent scuffle.
I read previously that at least 1/4 of people there are involved in protests. Those numbers are astonishing.
I've seen a lot of protesters with tennis rackets. I wondered why and then saw that they were using them to lob back tear gas canisters.
I admit I chuckled a bit, but you have to give them credit for that.
Some people may think, who cares what happens over there. They are half a world away and none of this will impact my life.
I think they are very wrong, and so do many economists. Some are suggesting that this might trigger a world recession like we've never seen.
I think about what Trump just said about American companies to get out of China and to come home. Many took it is arrogant and misplaced. Maybe it wasn't.
