HONG KONG: Hundreds of people in Hong Kong, including many elderly residents, marched to the U.S. consulate on Sunday (Dec 1) to show "gratitude" for U.S. support of anti-government protests that have roiled the financial hub for nearly six months.
Waving American flags, with some donning Donald Trump logo hats and t-shirts, protesters unfurled a banner depicting the U.S. president standing astride a tank with a U.S. flag behind him.
Another banner read "President Trump, please liberate Hong Kong."
