He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- The city has been rocked by a spate of turbulent street protests since June when people — outraged by a proposed extradition bill — descended on the districts across the city.
- At the same time, tourists staying in the many hotels in the district went their way but were advised to stay away from the crowds.
- Hong Kong is currently in its fifth month of protests, which have plunged it into its biggest political crisis in decades and taken a heavy toll on the economy.
