Approximately two million protesters went out in Hong Kong and flooded the streets of the city on Sunday, June 16, 2019.
If you think that is already astounding, it really is.
What is even more astounding is the condition of the roads after the protest.
They left the roads spotless – the same condition prior to the protest.
Occupiers are doing one last sweep for rubbish.

This is the second time this week that the protesters cleaned the streets up after the massive demonstration.
It’s 2:30am and they have teams walking through the protest site with giant garbage bags and collecting rubbish.
