Hong Kong police fired tear gas to break up anti-government protests in the central Kowloon district, as masked demonstrators disrupted Halloween festivities, kneeling down and using umbrellas to shelter from the tear gas grenades.
China vowed Friday to prevent foreign powers from interfering in Hong Kong's affairs and carrying out acts of"separatism, subversion, infiltration and sabotage."
"We absolutely will not permit any behavior encouraging separatism or endangering national security and will resolutely guard against and contain the interference of foreign powers in the affairs of Hong Kong and Macao and their carrying out acts of separatism, subversion, infiltration and sabotage," he told reporters.
It would also forbid foreign political organizations or bodies from conducting political activities in Hong Kong and ban Hong Kong political bodies from forging ties with foreign political organizations. Hong Kong's leader, Chief Executive Carrie Lam, said there would be no political solution until the violent protests gripping the semi-autonomous Chinese territory end.
