The anti-revision law storm started in June last year and has not subsided yet. Earlier, a group applied to launch the Kowloon Parade today (10th), but received a notice from the police against the procession application. Although the procession failed, netizens continued to call for "Sing with You" from 3 pm today, including the new century in Mong Kok. In the square, once more than a hundred people gathered and sang anti-revision songs, a large number of riot police entered and dispersed, and the situation was chaotic. Some demonstrators smuggled debris into the atrium from the top. The police once fired pepper ball guns, and a strong smell of pepper was heard at the scene. Many people present felt uncomfortable.

At 1:30 p.m., police cars were alert outside Langham Place, at the junction of Nathan Road and Argyle Street, and outside Mong Kok East Station. Several riot police officers got off the bus and inspected outside Langham Place, while citizens in New World Plaza in Mong Kok went shopping as usual and the shops were operating as usual.

However, at 4 pm, more than a hundred people started chanting slogans in New Century Plaza, but no shops were seen closing early, and riot police officers continued to guard at the entrance of the flyover to the mall. At the same time, the mall sounded a broadcast, saying that government regulations prohibit the gathering of people in public places, people at the scene may violate the law, and appeal to the public to maintain an appropriate social distance.

In less than half an hour, a group of riot police officers rushed into Shangcheng. The scene was in chaos. Some demonstrators were at a high place. They grabbed debris from the riot police officers in the atrium. Launched in the direction, gunshots and a large burst of pepper smell were heard at the scene. A large number of people present felt uncomfortable, coughed and fled from the mall. What the reporter saw at the scene was that some citizens brought the old and young children into the shopping mall, coughed with the smell of pepper, and the smell was quite strong, and it gradually dissipated for more than half an hour.

In addition to the Mong Kok East Shopping Mall, other districts also responded to the "Harmony with You" operation, including in Harbour City Shopping Mall, APM Shopping Mall, and Taikoo City Centre.
