Chen Daoxiang, commander of the People’s Liberation Army garrison in Hong Kong, said at a celebration of the Chinese army Wednesday night that recent protests were “intolerable” and that the military was ready to support Chinese sovereignty and maintain stability in Hong Kong.
Later, the music turns soft and inspirational as video rolls of civilians wiping sweat off officers’ faces and praising the PLA for being “strong,” “neat” and “handsome.” “If they use the PLA, it is going to be mobilized by the Central Military Committee and Xi Jinping himself, and if anything goes wrong, Xi Jinping cannot be exonerated from this.”
Antony Dapiran, a Hong Kong-based lawyer and author of a book about dissent in the territory, agreed that the PLA video was part of a broader message of support for Hong Kong police, not an indication that intervention is imminent.
