With the city’s protests showing no signs of slowing, tycoon Jimmy Lai says Beijing would have little choice but to intervene using forces.
“That will be a repeat of the Tiananmen Square massacre and that will bring in the whole world against China,” Lai told Bloomberg TV on Friday from his home in the city’s Kowloon area. One publication referred to Lai as a “running dog” of the US and a conduit for “black money,” without elaborating. Last month, he was also one of the senior Hong Kong democrats labelled by Chinese state media as a new “Gang of Four” as Beijing seeks to assign blame for the largely leaderless protest movement.
