Hong Kong's leader says her administration will "spare no effort" in bringing an end to anti-government
protests that have wracked the city for more than five months.
"If there is still any wishful thinking that, by escalating violence, the Hong Kong SAR government will yield to pressure to satisfy the so-called political demands, I am making this statement clear and loud here: That will not happen," Lam said, using the initials for Special Administrative Region, which describes the city's status as a semi-autonomous Chinese territory.
A man has been set on
fire following an apparent dispute over national identity in Hong Kong, where
police shot a protester on a day of escalating violence.
