China Sends Ominous Warning to Protesters: 'The End Is Coming'

After a violent weekend of clashes between Hong Kong protesters and police, China issued a warning that any efforts to undermine the sovereignty of the PRC over the city will be quashed.

"The end is coming for those attempting to disrupt Hong Kong and antagonize China," stated an opinion piece published by the state's Xinhua News Agency.

The message was directed at the protesters and "Their behind-the-scene supporters," presumably blaming the West for interfering.

The commentary comes after a weekend of tense clashes between police and protesters.

On Saturday, protesters lit fires and threw petrol bombs, while police fired tear gas and water cannons.

Authorities also targeted suspected protesters in metro stations, beating them with batons.

On Sunday, protesters blocked roads and transportation links to the Hong Kong airport.
