Chinese state media urge action, voice support for HongKong police after overnight clashes
HONG KONG - Chinese state media called on Beijing on Wednesday to deal with protests in Hong Kong more decisively after a reporter from one of China's largest government-backed newspapers was caught up in overnight clashes.
Protesters, at one point, held a man who Chinese media have said was a reporter from China's Global Times newspaper. Another commentary by a Shenzhen University researcher, published by the China Daily, said the central government should deal with Hong Kong issues more decisively. Demonstrators say they are fighting the erosion of the"one country, two systems" arrangement that enshrined some autonomy for Hong Kong after China took it back from Britain in 1997.
"We support the Hong Kong police too!" said a post on the People's Daily's official Twitter-like Weibo account that was reposted more than 500,000 times. Chinese state broadcaster CCTV called Mr Fu"a real man" in another Weibo post that had more than 140,000"likes".
