Thousands of Hong Kongers brave rain to join anti-government rally via SABCNewsOnline

The turnout for the rally could show whether the movement still has broad-based support after the ugly scenes witnessed during the past week when protesters occupied the city’s airport, for which some activists apologised.

“But we have to be here because we have no other choice. We have to continue until the government finally shows us the respect that we deserve,” he said. “I will come again and again and again. We do not know how any of this is going to end. We will still fight,” she said. The anti-government protests present one of the biggest challenges facing Chinese President Xi Jinping since he came to power in 2012. And with the ruling Communist Party preparing to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic on October 1, the crisis in Hong Kong has come at a sensitive time.
