China's President Xi Jinping has issued a stern warning against dissent as protests continue in Hong Kong, saying any attempt to divide China will end in "crushed bodies and shattered bones".
His comments came during a state visit to Nepal.
Several peaceful Hong Kong rallies descended into clashes between riot police and protesters.
Public transport stations and shops deemed to be pro-Beijing were damaged.
Hong Kong's protests started in June against proposals to allow extradition to mainland China, a move many feared would undermine the city's judicial independence and endanger dissidents.
The bill has long been withdrawn, but protests have widened to include demands for full democracy and an inquiry into claims of police brutality.
Earlier this month, the city's government used a colonial-era emergency law to ban the wearing of face masks at public rallies - but demonstrators vowed to defy it.
More than 2,300 people have been arrested since the civil disobedience began.
