Reuters (May 6) reported that in a strongly worded statement China’s Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office warned on May 6, that the city will never be calm unless “black-clad violent protesters” were all removed, describing them as a “political virus” that seeks independence from Beijing. The Hong Kong and Macau Affairs office warned that China’s central government will not sit idly by “with this recklessly demented force in place” and that China’s central government has the greatest responsibility in maintaining order and safeguarding national security. The statement said “The scorched-earth action of the black-clad violent protesters is a political virus in Hong Kong society and a big enemy to ‘one-country-two-systems’”, adding “As long as the protesters are not removed, Hong Kong will never be calm.”
