>Among these social groups was an alliance of more than 30 local political, business and legal dignitaries who support the proposed amendments to the SAR's extradition law.
Why does anyone in HK support the amendments (or is this fake news)?

This is flagrantly fake news.

#5This is wild.
Does anyone have a sense of what people in areas of mainland China think about the protests?

#6When people are used to this they can't easily tell what is satire anymore.
I remember a few years back China Daily (or was it the People's Daily) quoted The Onion because the 'journalist' hadn't realised it was a satirical website...
Edit:
Here it is. It was the People's Daily: https://www.cnn.com/2012/11/27/world/asia/north-korea-china-...

> Keung Suk-man, one of the parents among the protesters, denounced the opposition camp for calling for a strike by schools and teachers to oppose the extradition amendments. Such blatant incitement went against the school's principle of protecting students and training them to think independently, she added.
"training them to think independently", It really does read like satire

That is the point. The people of Hong Kong are marching to protest China's new extradition policy.

China Daily is trying to almost completely misrepresent the reason for the protests. The only way they could make it more "opposite day" is by calling the protest a celebration festival for the love of Chinese authority in Hong Kong.
The funny thing about the misrepresentation is that the U.S. isn't really even meddling. We care our trade deficit with China and tariffs than human rights abuses in China.
