Riot policemen use pepper spray to young pro-democracy activists who forced their way into Hong Kong government headquarters during a demonstration in Hong Kong, early Saturday, Sept. 27, 2014. Hong Kong police used tear gas to try to disperse thousands of protesters challenging Beijing’s decision to restrict democratic reforms in the Asian financial hub. The clashes raised the stakes in the face-off against President Xi Jinping’s government, which has taken a hard line against threats to the Communist Party’s rule.
