Beijing denounces foreign forces behind Hong Kong SAR riot
The Hong Kong Island Federation said that foreign forces were behind Wednesday's riot. Those foreign forces tried to create panic and chaos and stop LegCo's normal operations, and greatly affected the lives of Hong Kong residents, according to the federation's website. Federation chairman So Cheung-wing said that the demonstration in the past days happened after several radical Hong Kong opposition figures visited the US to seek support.
"I have seen and received information about how organizers of the demonstration deceived residents and distorted the facts of the amendments, and there is clear evidence of what they have done," So told the Global Times.
Representatives from the Hong Kong Federation of Fujian Association said they firmly support the police in enforcing the law. Some young Hong Kong residents who were incited by others with ulterior motives blindly engaged in violence, representatives said, media outlet takungpao.com reported.
