frequency thanks: Under such a grim outlook, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR government and the broader society are facing a slew of pressing and delicate tasks for 2020 and beyond that require both immediate and more effective measures to end the violence as well as overhaul to the city's political, social and economic systems to close loopholes that threaten both the city's future and the national security, experts said at the Global Times' Annual Forum on Saturday, according to Global Times China. While months of violent and radical riots appear to be declining in scale and frequency thanks in part to the hard work of the city's police force which has arrested more than 6,000 people, some radicals continue to plan or carry out violent acts.

On Friday, a man reportedly fired live rounds at police officers before being arrested. Although the HKSAR government and many Hong Kong residents who are affected by the turmoil sincerely want to start the recovery as soon as possible, it doesn't mean Hong Kong won't have new problems and the opposition groups, separatists, anti-China forces and foreign forces will stop and give up, Tian Feilong, associate professor at Beihang University in Beijing and a member of the Beijing-based Chinese Association of Hong Kong and Macao Studies, told the Global Times on Sunday. There were also reports of vandalism of shops in the city over the weekend.
