Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam says Chinese military could step in if uprising 'becomes so bad' – but 'I still strongly feel that we should find the solutions ourselves.'
Hong Kong's leader Carrie Lam warned Tuesday that the Chinese military could step in if an uprising for democratic reforms that has rocked the city for months"becomes so bad" but reiterated the government still hopes to resolve the crisis itself.
" I still strongly feel that we should find the solutions ourselves. That is also the position of the central government that Hong Kong should tackle the problem on her own but if the situation becomes so bad, then no options could be ruled out if we want Hong Kong to at least have another chance," she told a news conference.
Hardening her government's stance on the protests last week, Lam invoked a colonial-era emergency law last week to criminalize the wearing of masks at rallies but it fueled more anger, with continuous daily violence over the long holiday weekend. Police officers last week fired gunshots while under attack from protesters, wounding two teenagers who were the first victims of police gunfire since the protests started.
