"Because I grew up in China. I was born in China. I support Hong Kong. I lived in Hong Kong. And I support the Hong Kong government. I support the police because the young people didn't think about the right things. They want the freedom which is good but they punched everything, make the traffic jams, fight the police. It's very, very bad."

About 500 overseas Chinese held a peaceful assembly dubbed "Hong Kong No Riot" in a park in Sydney, Australia, on Saturday voicing their support for China and calling for a stop to riots in Hong Kong.
Sydney's Belmore Park became a sea of Chinese national flags, as demonstrators held them up, chanting "Hong Kong is part of China". This came amid rallies in different cities across Australia.
