Canada consulate suspends travel to mainland China for local staff as Hong Kong prepares for more anti-government demonstrations
Multiple protests are planned for Hong Kong, including a march by accountants to government headquarters and a"Baltic Chain" where protesters will join hands across different districts in the autonomous Chinese territory.
The airport, built on reclaimed land and reached by train or a highway over a series of spectacular interlocking bridges, was forced to close last week and hundreds of flights were cancelled or rescheduled when protesters and police clashed. "A lot of bosses are apolitical. However, politics comes to you even when you try to avoid it," Kenneth Leung, a lawmaker for the accountancy "functional constituency", told protesters.
