Hong Kong - Hong Kong authorities stepped up security around the city's main China representative office on Sunday as people began gathering for another protest, with anger simmering over what many demonstrators see as increasing cycle of violence against them.
But Saturday's protest ended in similar scenes of violent chaos with squads of riot police moving in to disperse tens of thousands of activists, firing tear gas, rubber bullets and sponge grenades used in riot control. Last Sunday, protesters surrounded Beijing's main representative office, known as the Liaison Office, in the city, vandalising signs to the anger of the Beijing government.
A clear plastic shield also covered a national emblem that had been defaced a week before. Scores of riot police were stationed inside the building itself, while vehicles and tourist coaches full of other officers deployed in nearby streets.
