HONG KONG - Dozens of Hong Kong anti-government protesters appeared in court on Wednesday charged with rioting and other offences over violent clashes two months ago near China’s main representative office.
The mostly young activists in hard hats and gas masks dismantled street signs and fences which they used to form makeshift barricades to slow police advances. This is now a common tactic, met by the same response, almost every weekend. Violence has hit parts of Hong Kong at different times over the last three months, but life goes on as normal most of the time.
China says it is committed to the arrangement and denies meddling. It has accused foreign governments including the United States and Britain of inciting the unrest. “Such outright malicious acts are simply astonishing and unacceptable,” he said. “These rioters have openly challenged the red line of ‘one country, two systems’, showing increasingly features of a ‘color revolution’ and localized terrorism.”
