Violence continues to escalate in HK

Anti-government rioters' recent violent acts are one step closer to terrorism, a police spokesman said on Thursday. The remark by John Tse Chun-chung, chief superintendent of the Police Public Relations Branch at a media briefing, came as Hong Kong endured the fourth consecutive day of widespread vandalism to the city's transportation systems and university campuses, as well as indiscriminate attacks on people in Hong Kong.
