HK protests 'near terrorism'

China condemned violent clashes at Hong Kong airport on Tuesday as "close to terrorism"

China has condemned Tuesday's violent clashes at Hong Kong airport as "behaviour that is close to terrorism". Some observers believe that the repeated use of such language suggests that China is losing patience with the protesters. It comes as aerial photographs emerged yesterday showing Chinese troop carriers amassed in a stadium near the Hong Kong border. We speak to one of the protest leaders, Joshua Wong and former Chinese diplomat Dr Victor Gao.
