HONG KONG - Hong Kong anti-government protesters queued outside businesses that openly support the democracy movement on Friday, a show of support for “yellow” restaurants and cafes reeling from the twin impact of the coronavirus crisis and months of demonstrations.
Long lines formed at many restaurants and cafes, snaking out onto streets thanks to an online campaign dubbed “Hongkonger’s 5.1 Golden Week” that called on people to visit yellow businesses over the long May Day weekend. The central government rejects criticism that Beijing is encroaching on the city’s much-cherished freedoms.
A ban on gatherings of more than four people remains in place, but some flout the rules on public holidays and weekends. Restaurants are required to operate at half their capacity and set tables at least 1.5 meters apart. The “yellow economic circle”, which contrasts with “blue” businesses, or those deemed pro-government, is seen as a way for people to support the protest movement through peaceful means.At Mainichi restaurant in the bustling working class district of Mong Kok, sales had plunged 70% since the outbreak of the coronavirus, but business was booming this week thanks to yellow circle promotions.
Mainichi’s owner Chong, 35, formed a group called “Small Mong Kok Alliance” with yellow shops nearby and he offers his customers a yellow discount card to shop at members’ outlets.“I have seen many young people come out and make sacrifices for Hong Kong’s future. My restaurant is also part of the society, I want to make use of it to support the demands of the students. Their demands are also my demands,” Chong said.
HK terrorists are calling the US/UK to come 'help' them, they fly their flags and sing their anthems, they call on Donald Trump to step in, they are siding with capital/ privilege, and by supporting them you would be doing the same.Supporting those terrorists is anti-leftist.
BoycottChina , and develop our local economy. YellowEconomicCircle is our attempt to struggle with China CCP. StandWithHongKong together!

I feel glad and comfortable when I spend my money to YellowEconomicCircle 👍
Hongkongers keep fighting in creative ways, support yellow economic circle restaurants
'Yellow shops', just like any other shop in HK or even across the world, are significantly affected in this WuhanCoronavirus pandemic. Now the 'yellow crowd', the majority, are returning favour to the shops' support for the protesters. People call it the YellowEconomicCircle.
To me it's the most enjoyable 5.1 Golden Week (五一黃金週) in years as our economy has long been distorted for those parallel traders. When HKPoliceState is taking advantage of the pandemic to curtail freedom, it's our obligation & pleasure to support YellowEconomicCircle !
This is a solid proof. YellowEconomicCircle does work.
We will support yellow shop forever

We showed our support to the pro democracy candidates in local election with our votes last year, and we support these shops with our bank notes, not only today. 💛 YellowEconomicCircle

Spend each dollar wisely. Strengthen the YellowEconomicCircle; so to support the business share the same values and reward them for supporting the social movement.
YellowEconomicCircle is mainly the restaurants that same the same belief, for example, they fight for democracy and 5 demands. Not really to back Hong Kong protest movements.
I love that idea so much. Every dollar we spend is a vote for the future we want.
Political suppression can never kill our ideas and innovation. A lot of shops have been sacrificing their revenue to provide protestors with financial support and job opportunities since the movement. Many of them were targeted by the police as well. HongKong
We will always support them!! We are strong!!🔥💛💛💛
YellowEconomicCircle is a concept of supporting business which fight for freedom and democracy
Protest is transformed to economic way. It aimed to drive out Communist China's economic influence in Hong Kong. YellowEconomicCircle
In YellowEconomicCircle, I’m not just spending money to enjoy goods and services but also conscience.
Yellow Economic Circle is one of the important frontlines. HongKongProtests
Since they support HongKongProtests, pro-democracy protesters are now rewarding shops and restaurants that support their cause by building a “yellow” economy. It is a win-win situation. LabourDay HongKong YellowEconomicCircle

We need to re-build the health economic system, as it has the RED economic system before the YELLOW one
Many HongKongers queued up to support the pro-democracy shop. Our economy is also affected by the coronaviris, but we’ll keep spending money in our YellowEconomicCircle!! 💛
Long queues formed (we all wear masks!) at the 'yellow' restaurants. Hong Kong citizens still support the camp of pro-democracy & pro-freedom - we're still here!
No matter how hard HongKong govt bad mouthed the YellowEconomicCircle, ordinary HongKongers defied the expectations of the ruling class w/ actions, like the election last Nov. HongKongProtests're always here. Only the form changed, as the slogan 'Be Water' implied.
This is a brilliant way to ignite the protest. By supporting YellowEconomicCircle, the Golden Week adds fuel to the movement and HKers are ready to get back to streets. HKers, assemble!
