Hong Kong: Hong Kong riot police clashed with pro-democracy protesters for a third straight day, as the city’s leader warned the global financial hub was nearing a “very dangerous situation” and a rare strike caused transport chaos.
Clouds of tear gas billowed across multiple locations yesterday afternoon as the city buckled under a general strike, which protesters pushed to emphasise they still had broad public support following two months of increasingly violent unrest.
