HK government condemns violent acts

The government of China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) on early Monday morning condemned the violent acts by protesters. Protests turned violent in Tsuen Wan, in the western New Territories of Hong Kong, as radical protesters hurled petrol bombs at police officers and brutally assaulted them. Some protesters removed a national flag at Kwai Chung Sports Ground, the assembly venue, and trampled on it.

At night, some radical protesters vandalized with violence a number of shops in Tsuen Wan.  The escalating illegal and violent acts of radical protesters are not only outrageous, they also push Hong Kong to the verge of a very dangerous situation.  The HKSAR Government appeals to members of the public to combat violence and uphold the rule of law together so that order can be restored in society as soon as possible.
