Grand Theft Auto V has become another avenue for the growing conflict between Hong Kong and China. Some new clothing additions have meant players are replicating the chaos of the Hong Kong protests in Los Santos. Thanks to some new items recently added in GTA V’s Diamond Casino Heist update, players have adopted the typical protest garb and begun causing disruption within the game. Organized through LIHKG, a Hong Kong Reddit-like forum, as reported by BBC, clans of protestors have been donning the yellow hard hats and gas masks typical of real-life protestors and making a mess wherever feasible. The outfit, dubbed ‘Glory to Hong Kong’, is being bought en-masse by members of the ‘Stand With Hong Kong’ crew, who have then been making a stir in typical Grand Theft Auto fashion by trashing subway stations and throwing petrol bombs at police vehicles, mirroring the social disruption of the riots in Hong Kong and resulting conflict between citizens and the states.
