The cosmetics company L’Oreal said Tuesday that it’s suspending all business travel to Hong Kong amid pro-democracy demonstrations that have brought the city to a standstill, in a troubling sign for the global hub of business and finance.
The company has “a ban on business travel to Hong Kong until October 6,” a spokesperson told AFP.
Hong Kong has been embroiled in protests this week as pro-democracy activists seek concessions from Beijing.
