SHANGHAI - China’s top envoy to Hong Kong hit out on Monday at anti-government protesters who daubed the walls of Beijing’s office in the city with graffiti saying the previous night’s events insulted “all Chinese people”.
Thousands of masked demonstrators briefly occupied the road outside Beijing’s office on Sunday night, erected barricades and targeted the building with eggs, projectiles, laser lights and graffiti in a stark rebuke to Beijing’s rule. Xinhua also ran a report quoting a spokesman from the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, another prominent party organ that deals with the two semi-autonomous hubs, condemning the “vicious behaviours of some radical demonstrators”.
