Lithuanians were recently shocked by video footage of a Chinese tourist throwing away a small pro-Hong Kong cross at the country’s Hill of Crosses site with a triumphal exclamation: “We have done a good thing today! Our motherland is great!” Other crosses with prayers for Hong Kong were found defaced. One, originally inscribed with the prayer intention of a Lithuanian family, had been overwritten, in Mandarin, with the following sentiment: “Hope all cockroaches soon rest in peace. Hope Hong Kong can return to peace.”
