China Says Hong Kong Protesters Who Break Law Will Be PunishedChina’s top office for Hong Kong affairs warned protesters in the city not to underestimate the strength of the central government and urged the local police to crack down on those who break the law.​ While HK’s tourism industry takes a hit as a unintended consequence.
