Fun fact, yes we break shops(which are China-owned company shops and support police brutality company shops) to weaken their economic power. But Protesters didn't take any shit from them, and there was a guy tried to grab some Chinese brand mobile and got caught by protester and protester told him: steal a Chinese Brand mobile, wheres your ambition? lol
I visited Hong Kong last year, I walked with the protesters on the night of the mask ban. I saw them break into a bank and several chain shops. Products were piled into the street and lit on fire. Nobody took anything with them.
Interestingly, I knew all the shops that were going to be broken into based on posters throughout the city which accused said shops of collaboration with or ownership by Chicoms. The attacks weren't random, and they weren't for personal gain, stealing, or looting. Very tactical, very precise, very professional.
Hongkonger here, can confirm.
