Hong Kong Students Defy China With Boycott
Students attend a school boycott rally at the Chinese University of Hong Kong on September 2, 2019, in the latest opposition to a planned extradition law that has since morphed into a wider call for democratic rights in the semi-autonomous city.
On Monday, as universities reopened after the summer break, thousands of students boycotted classes and gathered instead in central Hong Kong. “Hong Kong is our home… we are the future of the city and have to take up responsibility to save it,” said a 17-year-old secondary school student who gave her surname as Wong.One nurse suggested the protest is doomed because China will never concede.
On Sunday at least a dozen flights were cancelled after protesters blocked routes to the airport, although police fended off demonstrators’ efforts to converge on the terminal itself. “I call on the general public to reject violence, keep our society in order and safeguard the rule of law,” John Lee Ka-chiu told reporters.
