Chan said from storming and vandalizing the Legislative Council (LegCo) building, storming the institution of the central government in Hong Kong and defacing the Chinese national emblem, to throwing the national flag into the sea, some radicals have been escalating their behaviors in an attempt to abuse the principle of "one country, two systems" and trample on the national dignity.

The Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions issued a statement to express strong condemnation of the crime.

Noting that the misdeed of the perpetrators is an outrage and has crossed the bottom line, the statement denounced the "wirepullers" for inciting young people to undermine Hong Kong's stability and prosperity.

A statement issued by the Friends of Hong Kong Association condemned the act and called on the SAR government to bring the perpetrators to justice.

The New People's Party also slammed the act as being "lawless" and "an insult and challenge to state sovereignty."

Kaizer Lau Ping-cheung, a Chinese national political advisor, said the extremist act was an "outrage" and a "serious crime" and must be punished.
