A few hundred Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters rallied Thursday in support of separatists in Spain's Catalonia region, as a Chinese official accused them of colluding with overseas movements. Both movements have occupied airports to disrupt flights and Catalonia flags have been seen at Hong Kong rallies. "Many people think Hong Kong should fight for independence, but I don't think Hong Kong should fight for independence now," said Chan, 25. "A virus has been running rampant in Hong Kong, which is even more deadly than SARS. The spokeswoman, Hua Chunying, said "political figures like Nancy Pelosi confuse right and wrong, beautify the violent crimes in Hong Kong as non-violent protest, and support and bolster the violent anti-China demonstrators who disrupted Hong Kong."
