Protesters Plan to Disrupt Hong Kong’s Airport on Friday, HSI Loses 10.5% in 4 Months!

Protesters are planning to start a mob again at Hong Kong’s airport this Friday and will potentially paralyze both inbound and outbound flights.


The supposedly brief and short protest has turned out to be the worst since 1997 for Hong Kong. The situation does not seem to be any better while there has yet to be any action from the government besides using the police force to control the mob and fired tear gas.

The U.S. has issued an advisory warning people about traveling to Hong Kong to being cautious of confrontational protests in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory.

More importantly, there has been reported that protesters are planning to start a mob again at Hong Kong’s airport this Friday and will potentially paralyze both inbound and outbound flights. On a daily basis, demonstrations occur here and there across the city as protesters tend to flee from the officer to another location secretly pointed out by their leaders from a mobile app.

Hang Seng Index has fallen from 29,562.02 points on March 31 (the first officially date of the protest) to 25,997.03 points on August 7, reflecting a plummet of 3,054.23 points or 10.5%.

Several countries have already issued travel warnings, including Australia, Britain, Ireland, Japan, and Singapore while more to come if the protest remains.
