The Other Side of the Story: A Secret War in Hong Kong
One of the World’s most peaceful, orderly communities is suddenly struck by a sustained outbreak of violent radicalism. Police unmask the youths they’ve arrested to find many are children, as young as 10 years old. Behind them are shadowy groups with millions of dollars. And at every battle are pictures of the world’s most powerful individuals: Xi Jinping and Donald Trump.Hong Kong’s civil unrest was the most reported news story of 2019 – yet every salient detail presented was incorrect. There was never a proposed law to deport Hong Kong dissidents to China. The city’s freedoms had not been removed. No two-million-person march took place. Police killed no one. No trains took arrested students to mainland jails. and agents from a global superpower were intimately involved – but it wasn’t China.
