The Battled at Hong Kong Polytechnic University is Difficult One
All the roads to PolyU are nearly blockaded by the police.
When an Unimog burnt, police even fired tear gas canisters at firemen putting off the fire. The firemen could not dodge but breathed in the gas.
Police requested civilians to surrender, saying they would attack with full force after the 22:00. The police launched a psy war playing songs about life in jail and comparing the entrapped civilians to the “passengers of the RMS Titanic”. Meanwhile, police arrested all who left from Core Y’s entrance in PolyU.
All the journalists were ordered to leave PolyU. They could only take photos from far away, it is believed that if there were any casualties, no one would know.

Sports Event Organisers in Hong Kong Ban "Hong Kong Add Oil" in Upcoming Events
The Hong Kong Cycling Festival and the Cross-harbour Swimming Competition announced on November 16, 2021 that their events will resume after the cancellations due to the 2019 Anti-ELAB movement and the subsequent #COVID19 pandemic in 2020.
However, the organizers are banning the participants from displaying slogans such as “Hong Kong Add Oil” (meaning, "Go for it, Hong Kong") at the upcoming events. They called it a "political slogan."
The organisers warned they will involve the police if people refuse to cooperate.
Manson Hung, director of event & product development at the Hong Kong Tourism Board said that, if the cyclists show political slogans on their outfit or bicycles, the organisers will demand them to remove them. If this is to no avail, then the organizer will involve the “appropriate law enforcement departments.”
When asked if "Hong Kong add oil” was a so-called "inappropriate" Cantonese phrase, Hung gave a vague response, “I think you understand.”
