Protesters in Hong Kong are set to hold a march on Oct. 1 despite a police ban.

The date is the 70th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party’s takeover of China, a sensitive time for Beijing. In the mainland, it has gone to great lengths to ensure that “National Day” celebrations proceed without a hitch.
