Reuters reported that the central government set up a crisis management center at the Bauhinia Villa at the border between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, noting that Beijing has continued to directly monitor Hong Kong from the crisis management center and issue orders in recent months as demonstrations in Hong Kong have escalated. Six people familiar with the matter pointed out that in the past five months, high-level Chinese officials in Beijing visited the Bauhinia Villa to discuss countermeasures, and summoned high-level Hong Kong government officials from time to time, including Chief Executive Lin Zheng Yue'e, senior police officers, business leaders and institutionalists. The report also quoted two people with knowledge of the situation, including Vice Premier Han Zheng in charge of Hong Kong affairs and Zhang Xiaoming, director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council.

The Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office and the Hong Kong Government Chief Executive's Office did not reply to Reuters' enquiries.
