Following a morning of transport disruption, Hong Kong protesters launched a full-swing non-cooperation movement on Monday afternoon, evolving into clashes with multiple rounds of tear gas fired by police in different districts.

As the clampdown on anti-government protests in Hong Kong continues, protesters have been coming up with different ways to counter the widespread use of tear gas by the police. The newest strategy involves using a traffic cone to stop gas from spreading.

In recent weeks, clashes between police and demonstrators have grown increasingly violent.
