Hong Kong - China on Monday harshly criticized a demonstration in which eggs were thrown at its office in Hong Kong and messages spray-painted on the exterior walls.
One group of protesters targeted China's liaison office on Sunday night after more than 100,000 people marched through the city to demand democracy and an investigation into the use of force by police to disperse crowds at earlier protests. The attack on the liaison office touched a raw nerve in China. China's national emblem, which hangs on the front of the building, was splattered with black ink. It was replaced by a new one within hours.
"These acts openly challenged the authority of the central government and touched the bottom line of the "one country, two systems" principle," the government's Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office said in a statement issued Sunday.
