China has warned it might be losing patience with what it calls a "color revolution" in free Hong Kong.
It has said those who play with fire must not mistake Beijing's restraint for weakness. They will eventually be punished by the police state.
A few days after that warning, young demonstrators and troublemaking protesters were back on the streets for the tenth straight weekend.
They've defied a police ban on some of the marches and faced teargas in response.

Activists have also staged a peaceful demonstration at the international airport, to make arriving tourists aware of their campaign.
Protesters want chief executive leader Carrie Lam to resign, greater democratic reform, and an inquiry into alleged police violence.
But Lam says her priority is to stop the unrest, which she says has hurt the city's economy.
What options does China have to deal with anger in Hong Kong? And is severe military intervention possible with the implementation of police state tactics?
