HONG KONG—Netizens in Hong Kong planned for strike action on the morning of Dec. 9 in 10 local districts, hoping to set up roadblocks and disrupt public transportation on the six-month anniversary of the mass protests.
Roughly one million people had turned up for a march on June 9, opposing a now-withdrawn extradition bill that sparked public outrage as it would have allowed the Chinese regime to transfer individuals to the mainland for trial in Communist Party-controlled courts. The event set off months of ongoing protests.
