The Latest on Hong Kong

After months of protests, Hong Kong protestors have vandalized the Hong Kong office of China’s official Xinhua News Agency. Protestors smashed windows and started a fire in the lobby. It is unknown if people were in the building.  

Xinhua News Agency is not the only company that has been targeted. Several protestors have been targeting businesses connected to mainland China. Earlier on November 2nd, police fired tear gas at some protestors who threw gasoline bombs.  

With chanting pro-democratic slogans and defying the police, Hong Kong citizens are demanding autonomy, just how England promised the city in 1997.
