HONG KONG: Chaotic scenes of protesters rampaging through Hong Kong's legislature, trashing furniture and daubing graffiti over walls have sent jitters through the business community, which worries about the impact on the city's status as a financial hub.

Hong Kong returned from British to Chinese rule in 1997 under a"one country, two systems" formula that allows freedoms not enjoyed in mainland China, including freedom to protest and an independent judiciary.

Hunt says"none of us support the violence that we saw on TV last night but we do understand the reason for people's anger." AFP/Anthony WALLACEOthers raised concerns about the future of human rights and the territory's judiciary. Many did not want to use their full names.
