HONG KONG - Thousands of protesters descended on China’s representative office in Hong Kong on Sunday, as anger over an extradition bill morphs into a fresh front against what many see as a broader erosion of freedoms by the city’s political masters in Beijing.
Some protesters pelted eggs at the walls of the Liaison Office, as others blocked key roads in scenes reminiscent of democracy protests in 2014 that paralyzed parts of the city. “The police are terribly worried, I understand, about possible scuffles, clashes ... violence around the government and legislative complexes and the police headquarters,” said pro-democracy legislator Claudia Mo.
The police are struggling to cope amid haphazard decision-making, worsening morale and anger among rank-and-file officers that they are taking the public heat for government unpopularity, serving and retired officers, politicians and security analysts told Reuters.
