You think mainlanders cross the border into Hong Kong and suddenly have a new found knowledge of where to look for uncensored information? Or that they suddenly have tons of friends to contact and discuss the news with on WhatsApp or Telegram?

A large majority of the tourists crossing the border in this train station have virtually no idea of the protests. If they do know about the protests, they've likely only read the articles posted by the CCP stating that some of the protests were in favour of the Extradition Law, blaming foreign influences among other lies. There are no articles that depict the protests for what they actually are or what they are fighting for.
