HONG KONG - Two people were in critical condition in Hong Kong, police said on Monday, after a weekend of chaotic clashes with anti-government protesters, as China called for a “tougher” stance to end months of unrest that have roiled the Asian financial hub.
Protesters there had initially formed a peaceful human chain before facing off with police in skirmishes up and down escalators and spraying graffiti on a restaurant. Chinese state media called for a “tougher line” against the protesters who vandalized state-run Xinhua news agency and other buildings, saying the violence damaged the city’s rule of law.
