Demosistō, a pro-democracy organisation, said Saturday's cleanup operation could set a "grave precedent" if the city's government invites the military to deal with internal problems.
"We didn’t want to confront the people and the PLA troops directly," he told Reuters. "We are not directly against the PLA, but rather the government. But the PLA should not leave their base because this is Hong Kong territory."

(1) Simply said - all these HK cockroaches are scared of the PLA - but bully the overwhelmed HK police and the public.

(2) If PLA come out to quell all these HK cockroaches - they will be crushed and will beg for mercy - because the PLA are well-trained, well-equipped and well-disciplined.

Chinese troops have appeared on local streets only once since the 1997 handover, to help with cleanup operations after a typhoon in late 2018. It was not immediately clear how many were involved on Saturday.

Calls to the PLA Hong Kong garrison office and a media liaison officer went unanswered.
---
(1) About 30 persons per contingent - so is 1 platoon strength.

(2) There are 3 contingent - ie. 3 platoons are deployed to do the cleanup.

(3) In total about 1 Company strength to clean up the roads.

(4) That means about 100 PLA are out to do the cleanup operation.
