It's so hard to see the police, with one policeman's finger bitten off by rioters, one of the group's female organisers who asked to be referred to as CC told Xinhua.

"I think those rioters should stop what they are doing and truly talk to the government, not using violence. Talking is the way. Violence is not."

"This is not peaceful at all."

A Chinese-Australian citizen named Ray told Xinhua "We are all Chinese. There is only one China... Doesn't matter if you are from Hong Kong or Taiwan, we are all Chinese. We are all brothers and sisters," he said.
