Supporters of the ongoing protests for democratic reforms in Hong Kong clash with supporters of the central government at a shopping mall in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory.
A protester burns paper money to pay respects to protesters who were injured on Aug 31 outside Prince Edward station in Hong Kong, Friday, Sept. 13, 2019. Thousands of Hong Kong people carried lanterns with pro-democracy messages and formed human chains on two of the city's peaks during mid-autumn festival celebrations Friday night, sustaining months-long protests for democratic reforms in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory.
Hundreds of pro-Beijing demonstrators sang the Chinese national anthem, waved red flags and chanted slogans at Amoy Plaza in the densely packed Kowloon district. Counterprotesters quickly gathered there, sparking tensions as the two camps heckled each other. Thousands of people also carried lanterns with pro-democracy messages in public areas and formed illuminated human chains on two of the city’s peaks on Friday night to mark the major Chinese festival.
