Attempts to divide China will end in shattered bone, says Xi

Chinese president Xi Jinping has warned that any efforts to divide the country will end in crushed bodies and shattered bones.

Xi Jinping’s comments came during a state visit to Nepal on Sunday.

He didn’t mention any particular region but the comments were seen as a warning to Hong Kong, where anti-Beijing protests have been ongoing for months.

Peaceful rallies in Hong Kong again descended into clashes on Sunday.

Public transport stations and shops deemed to be pro-Beijing were damaged.
