"The July Crisis" - For The First Time, Beijing Will Officially Respond To Hong Kong Protests

After stubbornly refusing to admit the increasingly more violent protests in Hong Kong for nearly two months, on Monday China’s top Hong Kong policy office will respond for the first time to escalating civil unrest that has beset the city’s government since June. The Sunday announcement came as anti-government protesters clashed with riot police outside the central government’s liaison office in Hong Kong for a second consecutive weekend.

The latest scuffles followed a new twist last Sunday when young protesters targeted the Chinese government's representative office in Hong Kong. A front-page article published in the People's Daily, the mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party, the following day condemned the attack as "a blatant challenge to the central government's authority." Meanwhile, footage of men in white shirts attacking demonstrators with batons at a railway station in Hong Kong has gone viral, leaving the city in shock.

Fast forward to this weekend when The Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office (HKMAO) under the State Council, China’s cabinet, will hold a press conference in Beijing to give "its stance and views on Hong Kong’s current situation", the SCMP reported, citing a central government notice.
