Protestors are bracing for a possible final push by the police to clear them out of the last campus that is still occupied.
Fresh violence erupted around a besieged Hong Kong university campus on Sunday morning, as protesters braced for a possible final police push to clear them after fiery clashes overnight.
Parts of the campus looked more like a fortress on Sunday morning, with barricades and black-clad protesters manning the ramparts with improvised weapons like bricks, crates of firebombs, and bows and arrows at the ready. Hong Kong did not request assistance from the PLA and the military initiated the operation as a"voluntary community activity", a spokesperson for the city's government said.
Xi has said he is confident the Hong Kong government can resolve the crisis. Until Saturday, Chinese troops in the city had remained inside their base during the protests. Many protesters appeared to have left the campuses by late Saturday but Hong Kong's Cross-Harbour Tunnel was still blocked by protesters occupying Polytechnic University.
