The spokesperson pointed out that violence is violence, and cannot be justified by any demands. Some radicals in Hong Kong have run amok, who flagrantly stormed and vandalized LegCo, assaulted and even brutally bit off a finger of a police officer, stormed institutions of the Central Government in Hong Kong and defaced the national emblem. Such astonishing violent and illegal acts seriously trample upon the rule of law in Hong Kong, gravely undermine public order and security, and openly challenge the red line of "One Country, Two Systems". The facts are crystal clear and backed by solid evidence. Instead of admitting that some protesters are indeed radical, however, some American politicians and individual media insist that the protests were peaceful, accuse the Hong Kong police of brutality, and call on the SAR Government to uphold its commitment. Isn't this mudslinging against their own conscience?
