Hong Kong: China Warns UK Not To 'Interfere'

Thousands of democracy protesters have defied tear gas and police baton charges to remain on the streets of Hong Kong for another night amid rising international tensions.


Some demonstrators wore masks and resorted to umbrellas or plastic capes to protect themselves - prompting the phrase "umbrella revolution" to trend on social media.


However, in a shift of tactics, uniformed police looked on from behind barricades and have so far not intervened in the peaceful protest.


Sky's Asia Corespondent Mark Stone, at the scene, said the activists were "good natured but utterly driven".
Sunday night saw riot officers fire 87 rounds of tear gas after being charged by "violent protesters", with police saying 41 people had been injured.


The UK Foreign Office said it was "concerned" by the heavy response in its former colony - but China has warned the international community not to "interfere".


Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hua Chunying said: "Hong Kong is China's Hong Kong. Hong Kong is purely our internal affair.


"We are resolutely opposed to any foreign country using any method to interfere in China's internal affairs."
