Students Warn Of No Let-up In Protests

The President of the Chinese University Student Union, Jacky So, said on Sunday that he and other student leaders plan more protest actions to increase pressure on the government ahead of the upcoming G20 summit in Osaka this week.

Speaking at the City Forum, So said he was disappointed that the government was still ignoring the protesters' calls, making it clear that they wanted more than just words.

"She can only respond with actions, and the protesters will react," said So, apparently referring to the government's apology for its handling of the extradition legislation, which has polarised the city, and caused the biggest demonstrations in Hong Kong's history.

Protesters are demanding that the government scrap the contentious legislation entirely, and are calling for an amnesty for arrested demonstrators, and want a full inquiry into alleged police brutality at a protest on June 12.

The G20 summit takes place on June 28 and 29, and will be attended by President Xi Jinping, President Donald Trump, as well as leaders from the European Union, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

The G20 is an international forum for the governments and central bank governors from 19 countries and the European Union, and the summit will take place on June 28 and June 29. Both President Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump are to attend.
