Tung Chee-hwa, vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said he was saddened by the desecration of the national emblem.

Tung said a small fraction of the community has taken advantage of an inclusive society and deliberately sabotaged Hong Kong's economy and social order in an attempt to undermine relations between the central government and the SAR.

More than 20 pro-establishment lawmakers issued a joint condemnation on Monday of the Liaison Office attack and the Yuen Long violence.
