On a day when front pages of newspapers in Hong Kong and around the world carried stories on prodemocracy protesters confronting riot police in the city, the lead article in China's official People's Daily focused on a new book of President's Xi Jinping's speeches.

A top story on the Xinhua news agency's website discussed changes to Chinese family life over the past 65 years. The state-run Global Times said the "radical activists are doomed."
