HONG KONG - Cleaners swept up broken glass at the Hong Kong office of China’s official news agency Xinhua on Sunday, one of the buildings vandalised in a violent day of protests which also saw activists hurl petrol bombs and set fire to metro stations.
While protesters have previously vandalised buildings of mainland Chinese firms or those perceived as pro-Beijing, the targeting of Xinhua is one of the most direct challenges to Beijing yet. Protesters daubed China’s Liaison Office, the key symbol of Chinese sovereignty, with graffiti in July. When Reuters visited on Sunday, a handful of cleaners could be seen through shattered glass doors and windows sweeping the floor, watched over by staff members speaking on their phones. Outside, some tourists and other media curiously eyed the destruction.
Hong Kong police said they had arrested more than 200 people overnight for offences including unlawful assembly, possession of offensive weapons, criminal damage, and wearing masks which is now illegal under a revived colonial-era emergency law.
No more fake news!

Mr Pompeo and Mr. Pence have spoken out minimally in defense of the freedom movement in Hong Kong. If they spoke more forcefully on their behalf likely the people would feel supported and,less prone to violence. Speak up free world leaders!

Some media outlets filmed the police disguised as protesters. Have you seen those images, Reuters? Who knows what shit they’d engaged in
