After Hong Kong police were attacked with firebombs, a Chinese official warned 'violent crimes must be resolutely cracked down in accordance with the law, without hesitation or mercy.'
China has warned of potential terrorism arising from increasingly violent protests in Hong Kong, where Chinese officials suspected the United States has played a role in stoking discontent.
"This is a gross violation of the rule of law and social order in Hong Kong," he added, arguing that"violent crimes must be resolutely cracked down in accordance with the law, without hesitation or mercy." "The U.S. has been making various Hong Kong-related accusations that are wanton, fact-distorting and inflammatory. Some senior U.S. politicians and diplomatic officials met and engaged with anti-China rabble-rousers in Hong Kong, criticized China unreasonably, propped up violent and illegal activities and undermined Hong Kong's prosperity and stability. These facts are only too obvious.
