Under-pressure Hong Kong governor Carrie Lam also gets the backing of China, amid rumours she could go.
Mr Hunt aimed a tweet directly at the Chinese government a few weeks ago, saying"good relations... are based on mutual respect and honouring the legally binding agreements between them".
"The central government firmly supports Carrie Lam leading the Hong Kong government's administration according to law, firmly supports the Hong Kong police strictly enforcing rule of law," he said.The resignation of Ms Lam is another of the protesters' denands, who have accused her of being a puppet for China's rulers.
Sky's correspondent Tom Cheshire described"utter bedlam" on the streets of Hong Kong on Sunday, as a small group of protesters with masks and helmets refused to go home and clashed with riot police.
