Riot police officers detain an anti-extradition bill protester near a Sai Wan Ho Mass Transit Railway station in Hong Kong, China, August 11, 2019. - Reuters: Metro stations in Hong Kong resumed regular service on Monday and streets were being cleaned of debris as the city recovered from another night of violent clashes between anti-government protesters and police, with more protests planned this week.

At one stage police stormed some underground train stations, firing tear gas and arresting protesters. The increasingly violent protests since June have emerged as Hong Kong’s most serious crisis in decades and become one of the biggest challenges to Chinese leader Xi Jinping since he took power in 2012.

Beijing says criminals and agitators are stirring violence, encouraged by “interfering” foreign powers including Britain, but the protests seem to enjoy broad support in the city of more than 7 million people.
