Pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong have escalated, a day after demonstrators upset over Beijing’s decision to limit political reforms defied onslaughts of tear gas and appeals from the territory’s top leader to go home.
With rumours swirling, Hong Kong’s chief executive Leung Chun-ying reassured the public that speculation that the Chinese army might intervene was untrue.
