BEIJING/HONG KONG: China condemned violent protests in Hong Kong as an “undisguised challenge” to the formula under which the city is ruled, hours after police fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of protesters who stormed and trashed the legislature.
A representative of China’s Hong Kong affairs office denounced the demonstrators yesterday, who are furious about proposed legislation allowing extraditions to China, and said Beijing supports holding criminals responsible, state media said.
“Seriously violating the law, the act tramples the rule of law in Hong Kong, undermines social order and the fundamental interests of Hong Kong, and is an undisguised challenge to the bottom line of ‘one country, two systems’, Xinhua news agency quoted a Hong Kong affairs office spokesman, adding: “We strongly condemn this act.”
