Hong Kong police fired volleys of tear gas in a popular shopping district as thousands took to the streets Sunday to march against China's proposed tough national security legislation for the city.
Hong Kong police fired tear gas and a water cannon at protesters in a popular shopping district Sunday as thousands of demonstrators took to the streets to march against China’s move to impose national security legislation.
Crowds of demonstrators dressed in black gathered in the Causeway Bay district on Sunday, chanting slogans such as “Stand with Hong Kong,” “Liberate Hong Kong” and “Revolution of our times.”The protest was a continuation of a months-long pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong that began last year and had at times descended into violence between police and protesters.
Speaking at an annual news conference during the legislative session, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Sunday that Hong Kong affairs were an internal matter for China, and that “no external interference will be tolerated.” The erosion of Hong Kong’s freedoms prompted Chris Patten, the last British governor of Hong Kong before its handover to China in 1997, to condemn what he called “a new Chinese dictatorship.”
“And I can’t see how Hong Kong remains the Asian financial center if the Chinese Communist Party goes through and implements this national security law and takes over Hong Kong,” O’Brien said Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”
