Protesters have improvised weapons like bricks, fire bombs, and bows and arrows prepared.
Hours earlier, squads of Chinese soldiers dressed in shorts and T-shirts, some carrying red plastic buckets or brooms, emerged from their barracks in a rare public appearance to help residents clear debris blocking key roads. The presence of China’s People’s Liberation Army soldiers on the streets, even to help clean up, could stoke further controversy over Hong Kong’s autonomous status at a time many fear Beijing is tightening its grip on the city.
The demonstrations pose the gravest popular challenge to Chinese President Xi Jinping since he came to power in 2012. The authorities have since largely stayed away from at least five university campuses that had been barricaded by thousands of students and activists stockpiling makeshift weapons.
