Snip-"After months of speculation that Beijing might use force to intervene in protests in Hong Kong, the sight of paramilitary police massing in the Chinese border city of Shenzhen would appear to confirm the worst fears of many in the territory.

Just a few kilometres away from the Asian financial centre, the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center was packed with thousands of members of China’s People’s Armed Police (PAP) — the armed forces’ unit dedicated to crushing internal unrest — practising drills on Thursday morning.

“They arrived about a week ago because of the current chaos in Hong Kong,” said a cleaner at the sports centre who declined to give his name for fear of losing his job. “There are tens of thousands of troops inside but they aren’t letting us inside to clean, I’ve only been able to sneak a peek.”

Snip-"Satellite images taken by technology company Maxar of the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center on Monday showed what appeared to be armoured personnel carriers and other vehicles parked inside. "
