Hong KongChinese military vehicles have been
seen moving across the border into
Hong Kong in what the military said
were regular troop movements, as
fears rose that the city is about to face
a Beijing-led crackdown after months
of political unrest.
Following witness reports of the
movements in the early hours of yes-
terday, the state-run news agency
Xinhua released a report that the Hong
Kong garrison of the Chinese People’s
Liberation Army (PLA) was making a
scheduled rotation and that it was an
“annual normal routine”.
The images published by Xinhua
showed armoured carriers and trucks
carrying troops at the border, and a
naval vessel arriving in Hong Kong.
In the previous two rotations – in
2017 and 2018 – state media reports
noted that the number of troops andequipment had not changed. This year
the report does not include that detail.
It is estimated there are between 8,000
and 10,000 troops in the garrison, on
either side of the border.
The movements come before a
large anti-government demonstration
planned for tomorrow as Hong Kong
nears its third month of mass protests.
Yesterday the organiser of the demon-
stration, Civil Human Rights Front,
received notice that police had banned
the event.
Hours after the announcement, its
convenor, Jimmy Sham , and a friend
were attacked inside a restaurant by
two men in masks wielding baseball
bats and knives. While Sham was
unharmed, his friend is receivingtreatment for injuries sustained during
the attack, according to the coalition.
Bonnie Leung , a co-convenor of
the group, said she thought the attack
was intended to scare away protesters
tomorrow. Recent events organised
by CHRF have drawn hundreds of
thousands , in some of the largest dem-
onstrations seen in Hong Kong since it
returned to Chinese rule in 1997.
“My guess is, whoever attacked [or]
hired people to attack Jimmy want to
... scare people away from protests,”
she said. “But I don’t think it will work.
Hong Kong people knows the impor-
tance of unity – the more people come
out, the safer everyone will be.”
The attack is not unprecedented in
Hong Kong, which has experienced an
escalation of violence targeted at pro-
testers, journalists and pro-democracy
fi gures in recent weeks.
Last week, three people were
stabbed at a “Lennon Wall” in eastern
Hong Kong, one of many temporary
collections of posters and notes thatChinese troops cross into Hong
Kong ahead of planned protest
have gone up to support protesters,
according to Hong Kong Free Press.
The lawmaker Dennis Kwok of the
Civic party called the troop movements
political posturing. “I believe this is a
deliberate posture on the part of the
PLA to tell or warn the Hong Kong peo-
ple that it may be deployed,” Kwok told
the public broadcaster RTHK.
“As I said time and again, the use of
troops in Hong Kong will be the end of
Hong Kong, and I would warn against
any such move on the part of the cen-
tral people’s government.”
The protests, triggered in June by an
extradition bill that would send sus-
pects to mainland China, represent
the sharpest challenge to Beijing’s
authority since the handover. In recent
weeks, China has issued increasingly
severe warnings.
As concerns about a possible
crackdown intensify , the Hong Kong
Internet Service Providers Association
said it was troubled by reports that the
local government might block selec-
tive websites or applications.
It said such an order would be the
“end of the open internet of Hong
Kong” and “permanently deter inter-
national businesses from positing
their businesses and investments in
Hong Kong”.Journal Leader comment Page 2 In brief

Edward Helmore New YorkHelicopters, heavy machinery and

After investigating, authorities
discovered the treatment actually
contained minoxidil , a medication
used for the treatment of hair loss.
The children are now suff ering

hypertrichosis, which causes
abnormal hair growth.
A health ministry spokesman
said the 17 children aff ected

About 12,000 salmon have passed
through new channels and 44,000- up to 3,000 a day – have been
transported by helicopter. “ We are
looking at any and all options,” said

‘State subversion’
Three NGO staff arrestedStaff at a small NGO in southern
China with links to Hong Kong have
been arrested on suspicion of state
subversion, as authorities crack
down on mainland activists with
any possible links to the protests.
Three staff members of Changsha
Funeng, an organisation focused on
disability rights, have been arrested ,
according to lawyers.
“It has nothing to do with
subverting the government and
subverting the political system,” the
organisation said in a statement.
The Changsha Three , as the group
is now known, were arrested in July.
According to Changsha Funeng’s co-
founder, Yang Zhanqing, now in the
US, the group had set up a company
in Hong Kong through which it
received funds from overseas.
Cheng Yuan, one of the three,
regularly travelled to Hong Kong for
meetings related to the NGO’s work.
“I feel any activists or civil
society groups who have somewhat
foreign connects are in a dangerous
situation,” said Yaqiu Wang, China
researcher for Human Rights Watch.
