HONG KONG: Interference by foreign parliaments in Hong Kong’s affairs is deeply regrettable, the leader of the city said, adding that an escalation of violence cannot solve social issues in the city.
The city’s Beijing-backed leader, Carrie Lam, was speaking after another weekend of sometimes violent clashes in the former British colony, with police firing tear gas in cat-and-mouse skirmishes with protesters who at times smashed windows and started fires in the streets.
