SHENZHEN, China: Thousands of Chinese military personnel waving red flags paraded at a sports stadium in a city across the border from Hong Kong on Thursday, an Agence France-Presse (AFP) reporter witnessed, suggesting that Beijing has officially intervened to end the hostilities at the island-state.

Armored vehicles were also seen inside the stadium in Shenzhen, with the event taking place as concerns build that China may intervene to end 11 weeks of unrest in Hong Kong.
