BEIJING (Reuters) - "Foreign forces" are trying to hurt China by creating chaos in Hong Kong over an extradition bill that has prompted mass protests in the former British colony, an official Chinese newspaper said on Monday.

Riot police surrounded Hong Kong's parliament early on Monday after what had been a peaceful protest against the bill descended into running clashes between police and protesters.
