Last week a Catalan protest of the government for independence became remarkably similar to that of Hong Kong. -
Catalan protesters and secessionists are using similar tactics as Hong Kong rioters in the past few months on the streets, burning facilities in Catalan towns, paralyzing the airport in Barcelona and wearing masks to avoid arrest, which Chinese experts said would backfire on political elites of the West in their cities even as they continually voice support for Hong Kong rioters and separatists.
Some 10,000 people, according to Spain's interior ministry, blocked access to Barcelona airport for hours on Monday, heeding widespread calls on social media to "Turn Catalonia into the new Hong Kong," reported The Local, a multi-regional English-language digital news publisher.
More than 1,100 people have been arrested since the start of Extinction Rebellion's protests this week in London, including 50 detained at City airport on Thursday, the Guardian reported.

Using facial reconstruction technology, researchers crafted a digital model that offered a glimpse of the man - known by researchers as "Skeleton 125," or "SK125" - showing what he may have looked like in life, Aberdeen City Council representatives said in a statement.
SK125's remains, along with 59 other complete skeletons and more than 4,000 human bone fragments, were found during excavation work to expand the Aberdeen Art Gallery in 2015. The building was constructed in 1885 on the site of a friary and a church, both built in the 13th century and destroyed in 1560, council representatives said.
"SK125 was chosen for reconstruction as he was one of the skeletons in an individual grave with a well-preserved skull. His level of preservation meant that we were confident that he would be able to tell us lots about his life," Milburn told Live Science in an email.
