First there was the anti-mainland protest. Then, now, there is the anti-anti-mainland protestors, which urge mainlanders to stay home and buy China-made goods if they are truly patriotic. It just gets more and more confusing!
Dozens of protestors took to the streets of Mong Kok on Saturday, some dressed in Red Guard uniforms, other waving copies of Mao’s “little red books,” and urged mainland visitors to “love their country and party” and stay at home. There were also Chinese and Communist Party flags visible. Protestors say that they aim to reignite patriotic feelings in mainlanders, and urged them to stay home to buy Chinese products rather than coming to Hong Kong to buy imported products.
