Hong Kong protesters seek to shut down city with general strike

HONG KONG - Hong Kong braced for major disruptions to business on Monday as a general strike threatened to paralyze parts of the Asian financial center, with more than 200 flights already canceled, amid a broader anti-government campaign.

Police arrested 44 people after sometimes violent clashes overnight when police fired tear gas to disperse demonstrators who moved swiftly across the city in flash mob-style actions. The Chinese-controlled city has been rocked by months of protests that began against an extradition bill that would have allowed people to be sent to mainland China for trial and have since evolved into calls for greater democracy.

They are disrupting the normal life of Hong Kong people, and some thugs are involved. Your report is biased from beginning to end.

it is not a general strike. The majority of HK people do not support the protesters. Stop insinuating the majority of HK support this. The majority of HK people extremely dislike these protesters now. They are terrorists. They are fascists the way they act.

Good for Them & Blessings to your endeavors. Be stronger than your fathers & affect a better world for your children.
