\u00a0Hong Kong police fired rubber bullets and tear gas in running clashes with protesters late on Sunday amid chaotic scenes as anger over an extradition bill morphs into a fresh front against what many see as a broader erosion of freedoms by Beijing. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thousands of protesters descended on China\u2019s representative office in the city, in a direct challenge to authorities in Beijing, just hours after the latest demonstrations to rock the Asian financial central.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Millions have taken to the streets in the past two months in an unprecedented show of force against Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam, triggering the worst social turmoil to rock the former British colony since it returned to Chinese rule 22 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black-clad activists, many wearing masks, defied police orders and marched beyond the official end-point of a rally that took place earlier in the day as they made their way toward the Liaison Office, in a direct challenge to authorities in Beijing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked whether the protesters would attempt to force entry into the building, one 30-year-old man dressed head to toe in black said \u201cNo\u201d, as he mimicked a throat-slitting action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat would be the death of Hong Kong,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some protesters pelted eggs at the walls of Beijing\u2019s Liaison Office, while others spray-painted graffiti as they kept up pressure on the city\u2019s beleaguered government to heed their calls for an independent inquiry into complaints of police brutality during recent demonstrations, among other demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hundreds of riot police faced off with protesters more than a kilometer from the Liaison Office, firing tear gas as police and ambulance sirens echoed through the chanting crowds. Local broadcaster RTHK and other local media reported police also fired rubber bullets. Police did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activists had daubed graffiti on massive concrete pillars leading up to Beijing\u2019s Liaison Office, with the words \u201cRestore Hong Kong, Revolution of The Time\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hong Kong government said in a statement it strongly condemned the demonstrators\u2019 \u201cmalicious encirclement\u201d of the Liaison Office building, while a spokesman for the office expressed \u201csevere condemnation\u201d at the \u201cradical demonstrators\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday\u2019s protest, which had proceeded peacefully along the police-mandated route, is the latest in a series of rallies that have plunged the Chinese-ruled city into political crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some held up banners that said, \u201cLIAR\u201d and \u201cNo excuse Carrie Lame\u201d. A poster plastered on a lamppost called for an \u201cInvestigation on police brutality\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More demonstrations are planned over the coming weekends, posing the greatest popular challenge to Chinese leader Xi Jinping since he took power in 2012. For Xi\u2019s Communist Party in Beijing, stability is an overwhelming priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PROTESTERS ATTACKED<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At a train station in the New Territories district of Yuen Long, screams rang out as protesters who had attended the demonstration were attacked by men in white T-shirts, some armed with poles, as they arrived home.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The turmoil comes at a delicate time for Beijing, which is grappling with a trade dispute with the United States, a faltering economy and tensions in the South China Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent images of police firing rubber bullets and tear gas near the city\u2019s financial district as well as chaotic scenes of demonstrators storming the legislature were beamed live to the world – except in mainland China, where they were blocked from many social media sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier on Sunday, authorities used blue and white water-filled barriers to barricade government and police headquarters, while global bank HSBC, in a rare move, pulled down large metal barriers on the street level of its gleaming skyscraper building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While most of the rallies have passed off peacefully during the day, some have erupted into violence late at night when more radical protesters have clashed with police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city\u2019s police force has come under scrutiny after officers fired rubber bullets and tear gas last month to disperse demonstrators in some of the worst violence to roil Hong Kong in decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protest organizers said 430,000 attended Sunday\u2019s rally. Police put the number at 138,000 at its peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-KILL BILL – CALL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The latest protest comes a day after tens of thousands gathered to voice support for the police, whom some have accused of using excessive force against activists, and demand an end to the violence.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday\u2019s march focused on calls for the full withdrawal of the extradition bill, which would allow people to be extradited to mainland China for trial, and an independent investigation into complaints of police brutality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other demands include charges against protesters to be dropped and universal suffrage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI came back to Hong Kong this summer because of the protests,\u201d said Mandy Ko, 27, who is originally from Hong Kong and now lives in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy spirit is still with Hong Kong people.\u201dSlideshow (32 Images)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activists formed human chains as they handed out supplies, including umbrellas, hard hats and even gas masks to protesters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Reuters reporter received an AirDrop message that said \u201cBe Water\u201d, a strategy inspired by a maxim of home-grown martial arts legend Bruce Lee, that encourages protesters to be flexible and retreat strategically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last weekend, two initially peaceful protests degenerated into running skirmishes between baton-wielding police and activists, resulting in scores of injuries and more than 40 arrests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those fights followed larger outbreaks of violence in central Hong Kong last month, when police forced back activists with tear gas, rubber bullets and bean-bag rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lam has apologized for the turmoil the extradition bill has caused and declared it \u201cdead\u201d. Opponents of the bill, which they fear could be used to silence dissent, say nothing short of its withdrawal will do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the terms of the handover from Britain in 1997, Hong Kong was allowed to retain extensive freedoms under a \u201cone country, two systems\u201d formula, including an independent judiciary and the right to protest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for many Hong Kong residents, the extradition bill is the latest step in a relentless march toward mainland control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The protests have at times paralyzed parts of the financial district, shut government offices and disrupted business operations across the city. Officials have also warned about the impact of the unrest on the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A commentary published in the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s People\u2019s Daily newspaper on Sunday said: \u201cIf violence continues, it will inevitably deal a greater blow to Hong Kong\u2019s prosperity and stability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China has condemned the violent protests as an \u201cundisguised challenge\u201d to the one country, two systems formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
