China's state broadcaster CCTV called the protests 'extreme acts of violence (which are) tantamount to blatant murder'.
Chinese state media have ramped up the rhetoric against Hong Kong's pro-democracy campaigners, describing them on Tuesday as"mobsters", warning they must never be appeased and raising the spectre of mainland security forces intervening to quash them.
The official state news agency Xinhua warned in a commentary Tuesday that"violent radicals" were pushing Hong Kong into an"abyss" and warned there should be no compromise to their demands. "Their hysterical purpose is to paralyse the SAR government and combat the authority of the police," the newspaper said in a commentary.
In a video posted on its Weibo channel, a CCTV anchor warned viewers:"When dealing with terrorism, there is no soft hand." The video shows roughly two dozen armoured carriers apparently driving through the southern city of Guangzhou and other troop carriers leaving eastern Fujian province.
