HONG KONG—Hong Kong pro-democracy activists staged a cat-and-mouse game with riot police on Oct. 13, mounting protests in several shopping malls and chanting slogans such as “Free Hong Kong” until police arrived and then dispersing among weekend shoppers.
Some protesters vandalized shops and police made several arrests but in most cases the protests were peaceful. The young protesters, many wearing face masks, were often supported by Sunday shoppers out for lunch.
