The national flag of China was destroyed in flames, while a headshot of Xi – which a huge “X” on his face – was also torched. Similar to other overseas rallies, “Liberate Hong Kong” flags were seen fluttering in the wind, together with Hong Kong British colonial flags and the Tibetan flag. Some attendees wore a yellow face mask and held yellow umbrellas, a colour affiliated with Hong Kong’s democracy movements in 20. BritainĬrowds gathered at Piccadilly Circus in London on Friday, in solidarity with the campaign for democracy for Hongkongers, Uyghurs and Tibetans. Taipei City councillors Lin Ying-meng, Sabrina Lim and Meredith Huang attended the rally on Jinan Road. They also upturned the Chinese national flag. Participants were seen presenting a portrait of Chinese leader Xi Jinping upside down, and later drawing a cross and profanity on the photo. “We want the world to know that, even under China’s severe oppression, we still persistently and unitedly withstand China’s power, and uphold human rights and democratic values.” “In democratic Taiwan, we can do what we want freely, say what we want to say,” the Hong Kong Outlanders wrote on Facebook.
