HONG KONG - Hong Kong’s metro stations and roads re-opened on Monday, after a chaotic weekend that saw police fire water cannon, tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters who set fires and threw petrol bombs outside government offices and across central districts.
Most shops, restaurants and cafes stretching from the main Central business district to the bustling tourist area of Causeway Bay closed early on Sunday as police and demonstrators faced off in sometimes violent clashes into the night. The city’s leader, Carrie Lam, the focus of the unrest, is set to leave for Beijing on Monday to celebrate the anniversary.
A series of strikes is planned on Monday as well as multiple demonstrations across the city on Tuesday.
