Business Insider: Videos show a massive procession of Chinese military vehicles gathering along the Hong Kong border as China mulls over its next move in response to protests
* Chinese military vehicles have gathered in Shenzhen, a city in mainland China bordering Hong Kong.
* Several videos posted to social media show a long procession of military trucks entering Shenzhen on Monday morning, apparently "in advance of apparent large-scale exercises," according to the Chinese state tabloid Global Times.
* The vehicles belong to the Chinese People's Armed Police Force, a paramilitary police force responsible for riot control and counterterrorism.
* Though China has become more vocal about its ability to mobilize armed forces in Hong Kong, experts say that the military displays are part of a wider strategy aimed at intimidation and deterrence and that it is unlikely that China will actually intervene at this stage.
Chinese military vehicles have gathered in Shenzhen, a city in mainland China bordering Hong Kong — a warning sign from China in response to over 10 weeks of escalating protests in Hong Kong.
Several videos posted to social media show a long procession of military trucks entering Shenzhen on Monday morning. The Chinese state tabloid Global Times posted a compilation of footage showing the military trucks assembling in Shenzhen "in advance of apparent large-scale exercises."
