Hong Kong braced for multiple anti-government demonstrations on Friday and a "stress test" of the airport this weekend, as
protests in the Chinese-ruled city showed no signs of let-up and diplomatic tension between
China and some Western nations rose.
The airport, built on reclaimed land and reached by train or a highway over a series of spectacular interlocking bridges, was forced to close last week and hundreds of flights were canceled or rescheduled when
protesters and
police clashed.
"Go to the airport by different means, including MTR, airport bus, taxi, bike and private car to increase pressure on airport transport," protest organizers wrote online.
