HONG KONG ¨C Baton-wielding police moved in to break up scuffles in Hong Kong on Saturday between pro-China protesters and those denouncing perceived Chinese meddling in the Asian financial hub, the latest in months of sometimes violent clashes.
The pro-China demonstrators chanted ¡°Support the police¡± and ¡°China, add oil¡± at a shopping mall, adapting a line used by anti-Hong Kong government protesters and loosely meaning: ¡°China, keep your strength up.¡±
¡°Hong Kong is China,¡± one woman shouted at passersby who shouted obscenities in return in an angry pushing and pulling standoff, marked more by the shouting than violence.
