Noted that Dominic Raabs tweet on the subject is just followed by endless comments to the effect of "what about France?".

What about indeed.

Apparently the way this is being presented in mainland China is totally different to that in the west.

The protesters are being presented as terrorists determined to threaten the integrity of China. Footage is being edited to show policemen being attacked, which justifies the heavy handed responses. The Chinese are insisting that Hong Kong is now described as "Hong Kong, China". I can see no real prospect of these protests having any significant effect at all. What the impact on the future of HK will be is unclear to me.

On a personal level I hope the airport resumes normal operations asap as my wife will be travelling through it quite soon.

Clearly not fake but just as clearly the motivation of the protesters is not violence, even if it sometimes boils over. The Police, apparently, have admitted planting people among the demonstrators. Whether just as informers or in a more active provocative role can only be speculation.
