HONG KONG - As Hong Kong’s political crisis simmers amidst heated protests, China’s People’s Liberation Army in Hong Kong released a video showing footage of “anti-riot” exercises and its top brass warned violence is “absolutely impermissible”.
The PLA has remained in barracks since protests started in April, leaving Hong Kong’s police force to deal with the massive and often violent protests in the Asian financial hub. “All consequences are at your own risk,” one soldier shouted in Cantonese, the main Chinese dialect in Hong Kong, during the video clip.
As tensions continue to rise in Hong Kong as clashes between protesters and police grow increasingly violent, Chinese authorities have strongly condemned the violence, and issued reminders that Hong Kong authorities can request the assistance of the PLA Hong Kong garrison if necessary. Amid growing speculation troops could be unleashed to quell violence, police chiefs have insisted their forces are capable of maintaining order.
Chen Daoxiang, the commander of the PLA’s Hong Kong garrison said on Wednesday the violent protests in Hong Kong are “absolutely impermissible” according to the state-run China Daily newspaper.
