A group of 40 CCP paidtriots marched to the US consulate in Hong Kong and stepped on the US flag in protest of the US passing the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, which protects the same freedoms including their rights to trample the US flag. Then they collected their money through the agents of the pro-Beijing parties.
