![Chinese troops in Hong Kong won't]( "Chinese troops in Hong Kong won't")
Chinese soldiers stationed in Hong Kong are not there merely for symbolic purposes and they will have “no reason to sit on their hands” if the situation in the city worsens, an editorial in the China Daily newspaper said on Friday. China on Thursday completed what it called a routine rotation of the air, land and maritime forces stationed in the former British colony, which has been rocked since June by a wave of sometimes violent demonstrations. A detachment of People’s Liberation Army (PLA) soldiers have been stationed in Hong Kong since the 1997 handover which ended British rule.
