HONG KONG: Hong Kong police laid siege to a university on Monday (Nov 18), firing rubber bullets and tear gas to pin back anti-government protesters armed with petrol bombs and other homemade weapons from fleeing amid fears of a bloody crackdown.
Dozens, choking on the tear gas, tried to leave the Polytechnic University by breaking through police lines after a night of mayhem in the Chinese-ruled city in which roads were blocked and a bridge was set on fire and a police officer was shot by a bow and arrow.
Many protesters, dressed in regular clothes and without gas masks, made a run for it, dodging tear gas canisters and sponge grenades, only to be forced back inside.

Some were arrested, tackled to the ground, as others scrambled and tripped over barricades and fences as police pointed guns at them and threw punches.
"The police might not storm the campus but it seems like they are trying to catch people as they attempt to run," Democratic lawmaker Hui Chi-fung told Reuters.
"It’s not optimistic now. They might all be arrested on campus. Lawmakers and school management are trying to liaise with the police but failed."

Police said officers had been deployed "on the periphery" of the campus for a week, appealing to "rioters" to leave.
"All our warnings were ignored," they said in a statement. "Our message was loud and clear, the violence has escalated to rioting."
They said "toxic and dangerous chemicals" had been stolen from the university laboratory.
"We must warn that the university campus has become a powder keg where danger is far beyond what we can estimate," police said.
Police arrested 154 people aged between 13 and 54 over the weekend.
"We've been trapped here for too long. We need all Hong Kongers to know we need help," said Dan, a 19-year-old protester on the campus, as he burst into tears.
"I don't know how much longer we can go on like this. We may need international help."

THIRTY-EIGHT HURT
One 24-year-old protester, who gave his name as "Be Patient", said he nearly suffocated in the crush.
"We couldn’t move at all. The police didn’t stop ... they still used rubber bullet and sponge rounds to attack us. We’re talking about a distance of one metre."

There were also running battles in the nearby commercial area of Nathan Road where activists stopped traffic and forced shopping malls and stores to shut.
Police said a car tried to hit an officer in the nearby Yau Ma Tei district on Sunday night, reversing and trying again. Police fired a shot and the driver fled.
Thirty-eight people were wounded overnight on Sunday, the city's Hospital Authority said. Reuters witnesses saw some protesters suffering from burns from chemicals in jets fired from police water cannons.

Police said they fired three live rounds when "rioters" attacked two officers who were attempting to arrest a woman. No one was wounded and the woman escaped amid a dramatic escalation of the unrest that has plunged the Asian financial hub into chaos for almost six months.
Demonstrators are angry at what they see as Chinese meddling in Hong Kong's promised freedoms when it returned to Chinese rule in 1997. They say they are responding to excessive use of force by police.
China says it is committed to the "one country, two systems" formula granting Hong Kong autonomy, while the city's police deny accusations they use excessive force.

China's foreign ministry said on Monday no one should underestimate its will to protect its sovereignty.
“If you are viewing the facts with an impartial view you can see that what is happening in Hong Kong is no longer a simple demonstration, it is a handful of violent criminals conducting violence against civilians," ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a briefing.
'UNJUSTIFIED'
The United States condemned the "unjustified use of force" in Hong Kong and called on Beijing to protect Hong Kong's freedom, a senior official in President Donald Trump's administration said.

Chinese soldiers in a base close to the university were seen on Sunday monitoring developments at the university with binoculars, some dressed in riot gear.
Chinese troops in shorts and T-shirts, some carrying red plastic buckets or brooms, emerged from their barracks on Saturday in a rare public appearance to help clean up debris.

Chinese troops have appeared on Hong Kong's streets only once since 1997, to help clear up after a typhoon last year.
Asked about the clean-up operation, Chinese Defence Ministry spokesman Wu Qian said their efforts were welcomed by Hong Kong citizens.
The Hong Kong government invoked a colonial-era emergency law in October banning faced masks commonly used by protesters. The High Court ruled on Monday the ban was unconstitutional.

The city's Cross-Harbour Tunnel, next to the Polytechnic university, linking Hong Kong island to the Kowloon peninsula, remained closed after protesters torched a bridge above the toll booths on Sunday.
Some train services and many roads across the Kowloon peninsula were closed. All schools were shut.
The unrest poses the gravest popular challenge to Chinese President Xi Jinping since he came to power in 2012.

China will not sit back if Hong Kong situation gets 'uncontrollable': UK envoy

LONDON: China will not simply sit back and watch if months of protests in Hong Kong develop into an "uncontrollable" situation, the country's ambassador to Britain said Monday (Nov 18).
"I think the Hong Kong government is trying very hard to put the situation under control," Liu Xiaoming told a London press conference, as fresh violence erupts after months of protests.
"But if the situation becomes uncontrollable, the central government would certainly not sit on our hands and watch. We have enough resolution and power to end the unrest."

His comments come after a brief and rare deployment of Chinese troops in Hong Kong over the weekend to clean up streets.
The Chinese People's Liberation Army has a barracks in an upper-class district of Hong Kong.
Asked about a possible intervention, the envoy said: "They are there to show Chinese sovereignty and they are there for defence purposes."
Liu also warned against "external interference" in internal Chinese affairs, singling out Britain and the United States.

"Some Western countries have publicly supported extreme violent offenders, the US House of Representatives adopted the so-called Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act to blatantly interfere in Hong Kong affairs, which are China's internal affairs," Liu said.
"The British government and the foreign affairs committee of the House of Commons published China-related reports making irresponsible remarks on Hong Kong. What is worse certain British politicians even planned to present (an) award to a chief propagandist for Hong Kong independence."

Britain said it was seriously concerned by the violence on both sides at Hong Kong's universities and called for safe passage and medical assistance be given to those trapped at the campuses.
"We remain seriously concerned by the situation in Hong Kong and the escalation of violence between protesters and police. We continue to urge for calm and restraint on all sides and support the right to peaceful protest," a spokesman for Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Monday.
"It is vital that those who are injured are able to receive appropriate medical treatment, and that safe passage is made available for all those who wish to leave the area," Britain's Foreign Office said.

It called for an end to the violence, "and for all sides to engage in meaningful political dialogue ahead of the District Council elections on Sunday".
Liu Xiaoming accused the protesters of trying to destabilise and paralyse Hong Kong to "seize power".
"Hong Kong citizens live under black terror created by violent extremism with their life and property under severe threat," he said.

He warned that Hong Kong was "sliding into the abyss" and if the violence continues, "the future will be unimaginably dreadful".
"The once Oriental star is turning into the Oriental scar," he told reporters.

The End Game for the protesters as Trump does not care.

HK protests: Trump says it's between HK and China while PM Lee condemns protestors - The Online Citizen
It was reported that a US senator on Fri (15 Nov) condemned Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong for allegedly prioritizing his economic and political deals with Beijing at the expense of “human rights” in Hong Kong.
Rick Scott, a representative of the State of Florida, wrote in a tweet, “Singapore’s Prime Minister is so concerned with his deals with Communist China that he is shaming the brave people of #HongKong for fighting for their human rights.”
“This is shameful! The global community should stand together against human rights violator President Xi,” said Senator Scott, who is a known vocal critic of China.
The Senator’s comments came after PM Lee told about 500 global CEOs, tycoons, entrepreneurs and investors at the Forbes Global CEO Conference last month that the five demands put forth by the Hong Kong anti-government protestors serve to “humiliate” the city’s administration.
Responding to questions from Forbes Media editor-in-chief Steve Forbes regarding the Hong Kong crisis, PM Lee said, “I don’t see any easy way forward because the demonstrators, they say they have five major demands, and not one can be compromised … But those are not demands which are meant to be a programme to solve Hong Kong’s problems.”
“Those are demands which are intended to humiliate and bring down the government,” he said.
PM Lee’s comments on the current unrest in Hong Kong have also triggered displeasure among some of the pro-democracy protestors in Hong Kong.
A DBS Bank branch in Hong Kong was recently vandalised with vulgarities aimed at PM Lee, his family and the People’s Action Party (PAP). Apparently, the graffiti was removed very quickly by the bank staff upon its discovery.
Festival Walk, a shopping mall in Hong Kong owned by Temasek-linked Mapletree, has also suffered “extensive damage” last week during a protest. Bloomberg reported that protestors had “smashed” glass panels at the mall’s entrance, and that they had also “damaged the office lobby and balustrades on various levels” of the centre.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has described the protests in Hong Kong as “riots” that China would have to deal with itself, suggesting the US would stay out of the biggest political crisis seen in Hong Kong in decades.
President Trump said this in Ohio in August during a campaign event when he was asked if he was concerned by media reports that Beijing might intervene in Hong Kong. He said the city had experienced “riots for a long period of time”.
“And I don’t know what China’s attitude is. Somebody said that at some point they’re going to want to stop that. But that’s between Hong Kong and that’s between China,” he said. “Hong Kong is a part of China, they’ll have to deal with that themselves.”

[KuanTi01]

Just look at the way these so-called protesters are dressed from heads to toes. They certainly meant mischief and violence all the way. Why should they and their Taiwanese and western supporters expect them to be treated with kid's gloves? They want to take on an armed police force like some commandos and rambos and surely, they do so at their own peril. Since they have no mercy and tolerance when they set an innocent man on fire and also beat up unarmed girls, they can expect no mercy and zero tolerance from the police who has already shown maximum restraint.

It's the cops (chicoms) and the triads that committed the violence in the beginning. So don't blame the protesters for taking it up to the next level

Oh I see. We are from different planets then. That's certainly fake news to me. Perhaps the rioters are the chicoms and triads in cosplay!

Commentary: This may be the end of Hong Kong as we know it
The possibility of “one country, two systems” succeeding has vanished in clouds of tear gas and flames from pipe bombs, says the Brookings Institution's Richard Bush.

WASHINGTON: We are likely witnessing the end of Hong Kong as we know it.
What began as a refugee society after the end of World War II and the civil war victory of the Chinese Communist Party, transformed itself into an international financial centre and a prosperous, middle-class metropolis by the 1990s.
READ: Commentary: How violence and brazen actions in Hong Kong were normalised
Hong Kong was also a test of the proposition that a capitalist society with basic political freedoms and the rule of law could coexist with the Leninist regime that became the city’s sovereign in 1997.
The term for this arrangement was “one country, two systems”.
Proving that proposition correct would require good sense and restraint on all sides. In the end, the possibility of coexistence vanished in clouds of tear gas and flames from pipe bombs.
INEQUALITY – THE ROOT OF HONG KONG PROTESTS?
There is the belief that the cause of the current crisis is social and economic inequality, and that if only that problem could be solved the crowds on the street would abandon their protests and life would return to normal.
There is truth in that belief. Hong Kong has one of the highest concentrations of wealth in the world. Young people cannot get good jobs or afford an apartment.
As a result, they are blocked from getting married and having families.
READ: Commentary: Behind Hong Kong’s extradition bill protests – a looming divide, growing pessimism about the future
But economic and social inequality has existed for decades, and little or nothing was done about it. Hong Kong has many bright people who understand how to correct the various elements of the inequality problem.
What was missing was the political will to do so.

One reason is that most members of the business elite were not willing to share their wealth.
Another is that the central government of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) — Hong Kong’s sovereign — believed that it would be possible to preserve the city’s admirable prosperity and stability by ruling through that business elite and the leaders of the civil service.
In return, the central government let the tycoons keep their wealth and limited the ability of the population as a whole to choose the city’s leaders.
READ: Commentary: Have the Hong Kong police lost control?
This strategy had an Achilles heel, however. In China’s 1984 agreement with Great Britain concerning transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong to the PRC, Beijing agreed to an independent judiciary, the rule of law, and the protection of civil and political rights.
So, by the time the transfer had taken place in 1997, what had been a purely economic city had become a very political city, with citizens eager to exercise what political power they had.
They came to see that the exercise of political power was the only way they could reduce the concentration of political and economic power.
HONG KONG’S TWO POLITICAL MOMENTS
Before the current crisis, Hong Kong experienced two significant political movements.
The first, in 2003, was to resist passage of a national security act, which people feared would take away what political freedoms they had. The second, in 2014, was the Umbrella Movement that called for full democracy in the selection of the city’s leaders.

In 2003, organisers followed the rules for public demonstrations, and Beijing and the Hong Kong government soon backed down. In 2014, protesters did not follow those rules and occupied three major urban thoroughfares. There was some violence, but all in all the campaign was peaceful.
In this case, in my view, Beijing offered a last-minute concession that would have permitted a competitive election for the Hong Kong government’s chief executive and paved the way for fully democratic elections of the Legislative Council.
READ: Commentary: Have the Hong Kong police lost control?
But, again in my view, the radical wing of the protest movement opposed the compromise and moderate democrats went along with them. The concession was probably offered too late to be taken seriously.
THIS TIME IS DIFFERENT
This time, it has been different, in several significant ways.
First of all, the Hong Kong government apparently failed to understand that the popular resentment over economic and political issues still festered very close to the surface.
It apparently failed to recognise that its proposal to change the rules governing the transfer of criminals hiding out in Hong Kong to their home jurisdiction was just the spark needed to fuel a new protest movement.

The protesters were right: If enacted, the extradition bill would have undermined civil and political rights. The specific case that led to the drafting of the bill could have been solved quietly through administrative action.
With Beijing’s permission, the government eventually backed down, but it did so too late and too grudgingly for protesters to recognise the value of the concession.
READ: Commentary: Has the use of violence in Hong Kong’s protests backfired?
Second, the more radical members of this protest movement employed different tactics than they had in 2014.
Instead of occupying thoroughfares, which authorities learned how to contain, they engaged in guerrilla-style actions, moving around the city and never settling in one place.
READ: Commentary: Are Hong Kong police officers equipped to deal with new wave of protests?
Moreover, the level of violence on the part of protesters was much greater than before. My view is that protesters provoked the police in enough cases to create a vicious circle of attack and counter-attack.
THE PROTESTERS’ MISTAKES
The protesters made a couple of strategic mistakes. In the words of the great philosopher Kenny Rogers, they did not understand that "You’ve got to know when to hold 'em, (and) know when to fold 'em".
FILE PHOTO: Anti-government protesters run from tear gas during clashes with riot police at Tsim Sha Tsui, in Hong Kong, November 18, 2019. REUTERS/Athit Perawongmetha
They either did not see the value of declaring victory once the government made its concessions or they didn’t want to. In this reading, they wanted to prolong the struggle to make compromise impossible and to do as much damage to the Hong Kong system as possible.
They made a set of maximal demands and have stuck to them to this day, including electoral reform (which they bear some responsibility for scuttling last time) and demanding both the punishment of police excesses and the release and exoneration of arrested protesters.
READ: Commentary: Have the Hong Kong protesters lost the narrative?

Reinforcing this uncompromising stance is the protesters’ approach to organisation. Their movement is comprised of a network of activist cells and lacks a formal leadership. The movement flowed “like water”.
Many people were active but no one was accountable. There was no mechanism to judge when continued action had produced diminishing returns in terms of concessions from the authorities. There was no way to decide when to fold the hand.
Finally, the protesters misjudged the intentions of outside actors.
