DISINFO: Britain and US are organising the protests in Hong Kong

SUMMARY

Britain and America have been caught red handed organizing the protests in Hong Kong.

RESPONSE

Conspiracy theory, suggesting any demonstration and expression of popular discontent is staged by foreign, malevolent, actors. Similar cases can be found here. Hong Kong protests started in June 2019 over a controversial extradition law, but have expanded to call for Hong Kong's leader to step down, an inquiry into alleged police brutality, for those who have been arrested to be released and greater democratic freedoms
