Hong Kong protesters aim to take the message to mainland Chinese.
Protesters in Hong Kong were taking their message to visitors from mainland China on Sunday in a march to a high-speed rail station that connects to Guangdong city and other mainland destinations.
Hong Kong has been riven by protests for the past month, sparked by proposed changes to extradition laws that would have allowed suspects to be sent to the mainland to face trial. Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam suspended the bill and apologized for how it was handled, but protesters want it to be formally withdrawn and for Lam to resign.
The proposed extradition legislation raised broader concerns about an erosion of freedoms and rights in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory in recent years.
