Hong Kong police arrested a man who spray painted anti-American graffiti on the wall and a gate of the city's US consulate
over issues such as human rights and democratically governed Taiwan, which China claims as its territory.
The U.S. consulate in the Chinese-ruled, former British colony did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Police said in a statement they had arrested a man at the address of the consulate but did not respond to a request for further comment. Now TV said the suspect, detained on suspicion of criminal damage, was a 47-year old man with a two-way permit to the Chinese mainland, which are normally issued to Chinese nationals.
The words were painted in white below a U.S. consulate sign and below a U.S. State Department seal on a main black gate. Guards covered the writing with black plastic sheets.
