Donald Trump has warned
China that carrying out a Tiananmen Square-style crackdown on Hong Kong pro-democracy
protests would harm trade talks between the two countries, in comments that followed a huge, defiant march through the streets of the global finance hub.
Hong Kong has been rocked by more than two months of protests and clashes between
police and hardcore activists who fear the semi-autonomous city's freedoms are under threat from Beijing.
On Sunday, rally organizers said some 1.7 million people turned out for a peaceful march under a sea of umbrellas, defying police orders and stark warnings from China to end the protests.
