HONG KONG - Business activity in Hong Kong contracted at the fastest pace in 21 years in November, dragged down by anti-government protests and softening global demand, an IHS Markit survey showed on Wednesday .

Protesters are angry by what they see as Beijing's tightening grip over the city's cherished freedoms promised under a"one country, two systems" formula when Britain returned it to Chinese rule in 1997.
