HONG KONG - Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam will hold her first talks with the public on Thursday in a bid to resolve a political crisis that has fueled nearly four months of sometimes violent protests and plunged the Chinese-run city into chaos.
Tight security is expected around the venue in the commercial and night life district of Wan Chai, where some schools and businesses planned to close early ahead of the meeting scheduled for 1100 GMT. What started as protests over a now-shelved extradition bill that would have allowed criminal suspects to be sent to mainland China for trial have evolved into broader calls for greater democracy, among other demands.
Passengers on the Airport Express, which links the city to the airport where protesters have disrupted operations, were down 10% over the same period to 1.3 million people. China says it is committed to the arrangement and denies meddling. It has accused foreign governments including the United States and Britain of inciting the unrest.
