The prime minister also expressed concern that Beijing may resort to military force to quell the ongoing protests that have at times descended into violence, the Associated Press reported last night. “If they cannot handle this and this does not stop and the demands become more and more for autonomy or independence, then I think the Chinese will not tolerate that,” Dr Mahathir was quoted as saying in Kyoto, Japan where he received an honorary doctorate from Doshisha University and visited several tech companies.
Hong Kong, one of China’s special administrative regions, has been rocked since June by street protests that have disrupted daily life as well as both air and land travel.
