Unrevealing the truth behind Chinese propaganda. After the start of the protests against the extradition bill in Hong Kong in June 2019, the Chinese media played the movement down and described the protesters as “a bunch of pampered university students”. However, after months of following and portraying the protestors, I realised that many of them were actual no students, but came from all social economic levels, genders and ages. It were also confirmed by the Hong Kong police statistics which reported that only around 40% of all arrests were students.
