The network said the accounts originated in mainland China and were part of a coordinated attempt to undermine the "legitimacy and political positions of the protest movement".
This suggests the Chinese government is trying to influence an worldwide audience about the Hong Kong protests.

The protesters' current demands include the complete retraction of the proposed extradition bill, universal suffrage to choose Hong Kong's leaders and the guarantee of amnesty for those arrested due to the demonstrations.
Dozens of Hong Kong protesters involved in the July ransacking of the city's Legislative Council arrived in Taiwan last month to seek asylum, the Apple Daily newspaper reported.

Demonstrators' frustrations over what they perceive to be the government's blatant refusal to respond to their demands boiled over last week with the occupation of Hong Kong's worldwide airport, during which a reporter for a Chinese Communist Party-owned newspaper was assaulted, and attacks on a number of police stations.
China has condemned the unrest as "behaviour that is close to terrorism".

Police, whose crowd figures are generally lower than the organizers' estimates, said the turnout at the assigned location and during the designated time period was 128,000.
"Especially the police brutality". Another ad says that US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has voiced her support for the protesters, "should fly to Hong Kong to see what the true facts are".
Trump stopped short of endorsing the protesters, saying, "I'd love to see it worked out in a humane fashion", and calling on Xi to negotiate with the dissidents.
