July 21st Hong Kong Demonstrations

Hong Kong erupted with new demonstrations on July 21, with some violence being demonstrated by both sides of the on-going controversy over Chinese law and rule-of-law.  There were some injuries.  The number of demonstrators appears to have been between 100,000 and 400,000.  See:
