After the landslide victory of the pro-democratic party at the local municipal elections, the Chinese government had changed its tone towards the protests in self-governing Hong Kong province and asserted that the city will always be ruled from Beijing, and issued a warning against further protest violence.
The foreign minister, Wang Yi, warned against “attempts to disrupt Hong Kong”, as a few hundred people took to the streets again in support of protesters holed up in a university that has been under siege by police for over a week. “Any attempts to disrupt Hong Kong or undermine its stability and prosperity will not succeed,” he told reporters on the sidelines of the G20 meeting in Tokyo.
