HONG KONG - Hong Kong protesters plan to rally on Thursday in support of demonstrators pushing for a separate Catalonia in northeastern Spain as a Chinese official denounced months of"mad violence" in Hong Kong and forces pushing for independence.

"It has become more and more clear that it is not a peaceful demonstration in Hong Kong at all, but a violent crime that is mad," Mr Xie Feng, the Commissioner for the Chinese Foreign Ministry in Hong Kong, said in a speech on Thursday. But many Hong Kong residents are angry at what they see as a relentless march towards mainland control.

Independence is a highly divisive issue in Catalonia, which, like Hong Kong, has more than seven million inhabitants, its own language, Parliament and flag.
