A mob of masked men armed with batons stormed a train station in the Hong Kong district of Yuen Long on Sunday.

Footage posted on social media showed the men, all in white T-shirts, violently attacking people on platforms and inside train carriages.

At least 36 people were injured in the violence, local media report.

The mob attack followed the latest pro-democracy rally in the centre of Hong Kong, where riot police had fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters.

It is unclear who the mob were or what the motives for the attack were.

This is a clip from Gwyneth Ho (@StandNewsHK)'s live video. Look at how vehement and vicious the white-shirts are in their attacks on protesters. Look at their matching weapons – their long wooden sticks & umbrellas. #antielab #YuenLong

In a statement, the government said that in Yuen Long "some people congregated at the platforms of the MTR station and train compartments, attacking commuters".

"This is absolutely unacceptable to Hong Kong as a society that observes the rule of law. The SAR [Special Administrative Region] Government strongly condemns any violence and will seriously take enforcement actions."

Hong Kong Police also said: "Some people attacked commuters at the platforms of the Yuen Long MTR station and train compartments, resulting in multiple injuries."

The mob stormed Yuen Long MTR station at about 22:30 local time (14:30 GMT), hours after clashes betrween protestors and police in the Sheung Wan area earlier in the day.

Yuen Long is a more remote district of Hong Kong, and is far away from the site of the main pro-democracy protests.

What happened at the rally earlier on Sunday?
Riot police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters in Hong Kong at a large pro-democracy rally, and charged demonstrators who threw objects at police lines.

The protest route was altered with protesters told to stop at Wan Chai rather than Central, where the key government offices are located.

Some 4,000 police officers were deployed.

Bonnie Leung from the Civil Human Rights Front urged Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam to "stop turning a deaf ear to the Hong Kong people's demands".

Organisers of Sunday's protest say more than 430,000 people took part but police put the figure at 138,000.

Mass protests have been held for weeks, initially over an extradition deal with mainland China but now covering other issues on democracy in Hong Kong.

Late on Sunday, riot police equipped with masks and shields were seen swarming towards protesters close to a ferry terminal on the main island.

Images outside of the liaison office, China's central government building, show signs covered in graffiti. One of the slogans reads: "You taught us peaceful marches are useless."

Some protesters also covered the CCTV cameras outside a police station with spray paint.

The latest rally was put on edge after a huge haul of explosives was found along with protest leaflets.

On Saturday, a counter-rally in support of the police and against protest violence drew tens of thousands.

Tear-gas, rubber bullets, the trashing of parliament by protesters and sporadic clashes have created the worst crisis in the territory's recent history.

The Hong Kong government has since suspended trying to pursue the extradition bill.

The former British colony is part of China but run under a "one country, two systems" arrangement that guarantees it a level of autonomy. It has its own judiciary, and a legal system that is independent from mainland China.

What was Saturday's counter-protest about?
It took place in the central Hong Kong district of Admiralty on Saturday, attracting 103,000 people according to police, but more than 300,000 according to organisers.

Media caption"You are fake news" - BBC correspondent heckled live on air during Saturday's rally
It was themed "Safeguard Hong Kong". The South China Morning Post said attendees included locals, mainland immigrants, members of ethnic minorities and visitors from across the border.

The rally, which won coverage in Chinese state media, focused on support for the police and condemnation of the violence that has marred pro-democracy rallies.

Views differed, however, on how the Hong Kong government had tackled the crisis.

How did this wave of protests start?
They were sparked by the proposed extradition bill that would have allowed people to be sent to China for trial.

Critics said it would undermine Hong Kong's judicial independence and could be used to target those who spoke out against the Chinese government.

The Hong Kong government suspended the bill, but this has not halted the demonstrations, which now reflect broader demands for democratic reform and concerns that freedoms are being eroded.

Holy fuck, they're serious!
 
One must say though, if HK acted like Macau which is pretty much untouched, nothing really would have escalated like this.

It occurs to me I actually don't know all that much about Macau. I'd always assumed that Portugal just dumped them and left them to the wolves while Hong Kong had more western protection. Do they still have a separate system like Hong Kong or its it mostly Chinese supremacy at this point?
 
Macau is tiny compared to HK and pretty much one giant casino where the Chinese Elite washes their money.
 
So lets say China cracks down, HARD on Hong Kong.

Realistically, what sort of diplomatic tools would western nations use to retaliate? Or is this the sort of thing where the west is conspicuously silent and China then feels emboldened?

China relies massively on coal, specifically Australian coal. While yes recently more “sustainable” methods have taken over coal power plants are still heavily relied upon.

Steel exports are another big thing for the Chinese which are bought mainly in the US and Europe. China would then be forced to rely on Africa for energy imports a notoriously unstable continent. Finally the new Silk Rail Road they’re pinning a lot of hopes on that instead of shipping. While Ivan won’t care trains being stopped at the eu border will be another huge hassle.
 
Another train attack, #PrayForHongkong is now trending on twitter. Attached are videos being spread around:


You would think a Technocratic state like China would figure you can't pull shit like this off in the 21st century without having a massive PR disaster. It would be one thing if they were beating a uniformed group, but the people being beaten look like average train commuters. Even if this is a campaign to instill terror and fear into the populace, I don't think the visceral fear and desire for normalcy will make up for the hate and resentment this is causing for Beijing and the government in general.
 
If you are able to read/understand Chinese or Hongkongnese and watch the full original video, you will find that the so-called 'passengers' are mostly protesters and the human resource gathered by the parliamentary who's opinion is HK independence from PRC. Many of them wear blackish T-shirts, so they call them BT. Maybe some or a few of them are ordinary citizens who were in the subway and all out of sudden the BT guys rushed in and WT guys are chasing them.

The white T-shirts (WT) are organized by the local residents to 'fight' against BT because of their invasion (The Yuen Long district is not included in the protest authorization yesterday). There are several reasons why they are fighting: 1. The WT does not agree with the claim of splitting the country 2. BT guys keep on calling names of WT and saying 'come on', ' beat me', and etc. 3. according to the Propaganda Department of 'BT side', they want to 'reveal' the dark of pro-unite group of people to fight for more human resource for protesters.

The police conclusion of this: Streetfight. I believe what you saw in the video is the losing side retreating from the home field of WT's. They both are 'players' in this violent activity and they also both are the victim of this organized country splitting conspiracy.

TLDR: All the local residents are sick and tired of this bullshit protest by stupid kids. Since the Chinese government is too soft, these angry HK residents are taking matters into their own hands.

You're just presenting one side of the whole picture.

And PR is fleeting. West would continue to suckle at the teet of Chinese consumer goods and the developing world would continue to provide it with all the raw resources it needs.

China could send in the army, deport all 7 million hong kong residents to uighur re-education camps then repopulate the city with young entrepreneurs loyal to Beijing from nearby Shenzhen in the space of...1 week. Wouldn't even affect the useless, parasitic (it produces nothing) economy of Hong Kong long term.

This is just one of the array of options you're contending with that is freely available to Beijing. All this bleating is pathetic. Be a man. Take your fate like a man. And stop being blinded by a single propaganda arm. China will grow larger.

What will most likely happen?
Western nations wont do jack shit. You likely wont even hear any condemnations other than maybe something from Trump.
What would be the best peaceful solution?
Infiltrate any assets the Chinese are using to shut down the pro-democracy faction, and expose them. At the same time, move a carrier fleet near Hong Kong in order to scare China out of a military crackdown.
What would be the best military solution?
Arm the pro-democracy faction with Chinese made weapons so as to force the government to suspect traitors within their military. Send in special forces units to assassinate key Triad leadership. Even if the units are found out, if China bitches about it, they'll be admitting to using organized crime groups.

Yeah, a random group of ‘local residents’ who just happen to be wearing the exact same outfits when they decided to assault innocent people? Pull the other one mate, it’s got bells on.

The full time activist protestors wear black, these guys wore white to identify as counter-protesters.

Yeah, a random group of ‘local residents’ who just happen to be wearing the exact same outfits when they decided to assault innocent people? Pull the other one mate, it’s got bells on.
isn't the group being assaulted also wearing same coloured outfits ?
I just feels like it is just part of the story that is shown here.
it could be a situation of the assaulted group started the fight and lose, and thus retreating and the other group continue to beat the dog. it could be it is an unreasonable assault from the other group
who knows?
 
isn't the group being assaulted also wearing same coloured outfits ?
Yeah, because they’re deliberately choosing to do so as a way of showing solidarity with the movement. Wearing a specific outfit implies a high level of organisation, which doesn’t fit with the claim that the men who assaulted them were just random angry locals.
it could be a situation of the assaulted group started the fight and lose, and thus retreating and the other group continue to beat the dog.
Somehow, I doubt a group of peaceful protestors are going to start street fighting as soon as they get back home. That, and the guys in white were suspiciously well-armed and prepared for a random fight.

This is the Middle Kingdom we're talking about. I honestly think the politburo have always been narcissistic enough that they just don't understand why bad PR can't be handwaved away.

Thanks for clarifying some things. In the attack vids from Sunday it is clear they are going after people in blackshirts. In the one after however it looks like they are just beating train goers. I'm hearing allegations on twitter that the police are just allowing these attacks to happen to try and intimidate protestors, with the white shirts being Triads doing the governments dirty work for them. I would advice the Chinese elite to look at how that worked out in the United States, when various cities allowed protestors just wale on each other. They better hope the pro-HK guys run over a fat girl with a dodge challenger.

As for just sending all of HK to reeducation camps, HK is too much of significant player both within the wider Chinese world and globally for that to be feasible. PRC gets away with what they do to the Uighur because they are irrelevant desert people.

I'm sure that's the official party line, and I'm sure there is some annoyance with the vandalism done by actual protesters (I know some expats who really didn't like what they did in the government buildings). The whole calling the white shirts protesters too thing just seems like a way to get uninformed people (read outsiders) to believe the protests are getting violently out of control, warranting a crackdown.
