Overseas Chinese and students call for end to violence in China's Hong Kong

Overseas Chinese across Europe rally against violence

Overseas Chinese in Europe have rallied against the recent violence in Hong Kong. In London, hundreds of people gathered on Trafalgar Square during the weekend, protesting against the ongoing Hong Kong unrest. In Paris, and German cities of Berlin, Cologne, and Hamburg, overseas Chinese have also held peaceful rallies against the violence.

Overseas Chinese and students in Britain sang the Chinese national anthem and chanted "no violence" and "one nation, one China".

The rally was organized after overseas students learned that some Hong Kong independence activists were planning a rally, an overseas student said.

He said they came here to express their support of Hong Kong and Hong Kong police and their objection to separatists.
