The United States has become the latest country to issue a travel warning over Hong Kong's ongoing protests, which have at times turned violent and seen parts of the city brought to a standstill.
The Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs issued a travel advisory Wednesday, urging travelers to exercise increased caution over the protests. "Most have been peaceful, but some have turned confrontational or resulted in violent clashes," the advisory said."These demonstrations, which can take place with little or no notice, are likely to continue.
Last month, a group wielding iron bars and bamboo sticks attacked people at a Hong Kong metro station. Police reportedly took almost an hour to arrive, and at least 45 people were injured, some seriously.In a statement Thursday, the Hong Kong government said that although recent incidents may have caused inconvenience to travelers, many of city's travel agents, hotels, and business organizations were making arrangements to minimize future disruption to visitors.
