HongKong tycoon LiKaShing urges love, not violence, in first protest comments HongKongProtests
HONG KONG - Hong Kong's richest man Li Ka Shing urged people to"love China, love Hong Kong and love yourself" on Friday , in his first public comments on the escalating pro-democracy protests that have disrupted the city for weeks and challenged China.
China has likened the increasingly violent protests to terrorism and warned it could use force to quell them, as US President Donald Trump urged Mr Xi meet protesters to defuse the tension.Police tactics against protesters have been hardening and Mr Li, 91, warned that"the best cause can lead to the worst results".
That event has permission from the authorities but the police have banned other protests planned for the weekend. However, a statement issued later by a spokesman quoted Mr Li as saying said investing in the future would always bear fruit for Hong Kong.
