HONG KONG/BEIJING - 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.
“Using the sword of the law to stop violence and restore order is overwhelmingly the most important and urgent task for Hong Kong!” it said. However, Chinese state media has stopped short of calling for military action to deal with the protests. Netizens shared stylized images of Fu with the quote, as well as one posted by Global Times that read “Shame for Hong Kong.”
But state broadcaster CCTV has started regularly airing interviews with pro-police demonstrators in recent weeks.
