Die-hard protesters remain on some streets in Hong Kong, despite a call from the citys top leader to vacate protest camps by Monday morning. Tho...
The talks, which had been scheduled for Friday, will not go ahead because they have been "seriously undermined" by remarks from the student leaders, said the official, Chief Secretary Carrie Lam.
Her announcement came hours after student leaders called for supporters to redouble their efforts to occupy the main protest zone - a highway outside government headquarters that they have dubbed "Umbrella Square." Umbrellas used to combat police pepper spray and tear gas have become a symbol of the nonviolent movement.
"I truly regret that we will not be able to have a meeting tomorrow which will produce any constructive outcome," Lam said.
