HONG KONG - Hong Kong police moved in to break up scuffles on Saturday between pro-China protesters and those denouncing perceived Chinese meddling, in an around a shopping mall at the start of demonstrations across the city after months of unrest.
“Hong Kong is China,” one woman shouted at passersby who shouted obscenities in return in an angry pushing and pulling standoff. They have also gathered in malls, with occasional scuffles with flag-carrying China supporters, often denouncing police for perceived brutality. The bill would have allowed people to be sent to mainland China for trial in Communist Party-controlled courts, but the protests have now broadened into calls for greater democracy.
