"Violence in Hong Kong has seriously challenged the fundamentals of a one-country, two-regime model," Chinese President Xi Jinping said at the BRICS summit in Brazil's capital Brasilia. today.

China's President affirmed that stopping violence, controlling riot and restoring order is the most urgent task today for Hong Kong and Beijing continues to strongly support Hong Kong Special Zone Chief Carrie Lam. legal policies and sanctions against rioters.

He also stressed that China opposes "any outside forces that interfere with Hong Kong issues" and is determined to uphold the principle of "one country, two regimes".

They burned cars, buildings, bombed police stations and trains, sabotaged shopping malls, paralyzing many areas in the special administrative district.

Police said the violence had reached a very dangerous, even lethal level. 64 people were injured in clashes on November 13, including two in critical condition. Police confirmed a man died from a fall, but did not provide further details.

Many Hong Kongers took to the streets in early June to protest against the extradition bill that allows criminals to be brought to the jurisdictional areas where the Special Zone has not signed an extradition treaty, including mainland China. Although the special government announced the withdrawal of the bill, protesters still took to the streets to make other claims. Ms. Lam said the violence did not make her government respond to the protests of the protesters and called the violent protesters "enemies of the people".
