Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam says her government can handle growing violence without Beijing's intervention, but warned the Chinese military could intervene if the increasingly violent uprisings in the city worsen
Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam walks past a barrier to meet petitioners before a weekly Executive Council meeting in Hong Kong, China, October 8, 2019.
She said seeking Chinese intervention was provided for under Hong Kong's constitution but that she cannot reveal under what circumstances she will do so.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.
The unrest had pummeled tourism and hurt businesses in the global financial hub, further bruising the city' economy as it grapples with effects of the US-China trade war. Enforcement of the mask ban began Saturday, and Lam said it was too early to call it a failure. Two people have been charged with violating the mask ban so far.
