Investing.com -- Hong Kong's government has ordered all persons to evacuate the complex of the Legislative Council immediately, Reuters reported Tuesday, as protests against its leader Carrie Lam intensify. The protests are taking place on the day that China held a massive military parade in Beijing to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Communist Party's takeover of power. Thousands of black-clad protesters defied a ban on a rally, setting up the likelihood of clashes with police.
