Hong Kong protesters swarm to airport, disrupting transport

Live Mint  

Hong Kong: Hong Kong protesters caused major disruptions to the city’s international airport Sunday, massing outside the building in attempt to paralyze transport to and from the facility. Police arrested more than 50 people in running battles across Hong Kong, with tear gas and two warning shots fired by officers in a standoff with a crowd. That’s why we’re being more aggressive and trying to disrupt the Hong Kong economy,” he said as police fired tear gas nearby at protesters pelting the city’s Legislative Council complex with eggs and bricks. On Saturday, the Hong Kong government issued a formal statement on the issue, repeating that universal suffrage is the “ultimate aim,” but that election reforms will take place “in accordance with the principle of gradual and orderly progress.” The ongoing unrest represents the biggest threat to Beijing’s oversight of Hong Kong since the return to Chinese rule in 1997, and is a geopolitical embarrassment for President Xi Jinping as his government gets set to celebrate 70 years of communist rule on 1 October As demonstrations drag out, protesters and the Hong Kong administration are being driven further apart.
