"'Tell the truth about China!" has become a rallying cry for protesters in Hong Kong.
During more than 13 straight weeks of protest, Hong Kong's people have demanded the rights and freedoms-including free elections-that China, in a treaty with Britain, guaranteed to Hong Kong for 50 years after the 1997 handover.
China has been pressuring Hong Kong companies, including Cathay Pacific Airways , to fire employees who join the protests.
China itself is the only threat to Hong Kong's prosperity and stability.
In June, to oppose the bill, they held the biggest protests Hong Kong had ever seen; first one million strong, then two million.
In 2014 China imposed a rigged system in which Beijing, not Hong Kong, effectively "Elects" Hong Kong's chief executive, who works with a similarly rigged pro-Beijing majority in the Legislative Council.
With great courage and at intensifying risk, Hong Kong's people have brought to the fore a lesson for anyone dealing with China.
