Hong Kong’s society is in a chaotic situation and its economy is deteriorating further, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam reportedly said on Tuesday.
Lam’s comments a day after protesters swarmed the international airport, further escalating the worst disruption since pro-Democracy demonstrations began 10 weeks ago.
Investors fear that Hong Kong’s deepening political crisis could become an economic one.
