Where Will Protests Lead Hong Kong?

The director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs office says the city is experiencing its worst crisis since the colony returned to China from British rule in 1997 after weeks of protests prompted by legislation that protestors believe was eroding their freedoms.

Thousands of protestors have been disrupting travel on roads and trains and hundreds of flights have been cancelled due to sick calls from air traffic controllers.  Union officials said close to 350,000 workers stayed home on Monday, nearly two months after the protests first began.
