Thousands come out to say thank you, flying American flags and singing the national anthem.
Via Townhall:
Pro-democracy protesters held a Thanksgiving Day rally to thank the United States and President Trump for signing bills into law on Wednesday that support the demonstrators in their struggle against Beijing.
The bipartisan bills signed by the president impose sanctions on officials in Hong Kong and China that are responsible for human rights abuses. The bills also require an annual review of the special autonomous status the U.S. State Department grants to Hong Kong during trade considerations. The revocation of that status is a powerful tool to incentivize support of pro-democracy groups in Hong Kong. The legislation also bans the sale of crowd control munitions to Hong Kong that have been used by police against the protesters.
It’s a special Thanksgiving from Hong Kong to the United States.

Hong Kong people singing The Star Spangled Banner in last night Thanksgiving gathering in Hong Kong after Hong Kong Human Right and Democracy Act being signed into law. It reminds me the Berlin Wall being torn down 30 years ago. pic.twitter.com/sK42XL62ee
