HONG KONG - A Hong Kong police association has told its members it is in talks with Chinese property developer Agile Group 3383.HK to develop a"Hong Kong City" in southern China for their retirement, according to a letter seen by Reuters.
Demonstrators have hurled petrol bombs and other objects at police, who have responded with tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannon. Two protesters have also been shot and wounded during skirmishes with police. A Hong Kong court granted an injunction earlier this week to ban anyone from blocking or damaging areas used to house married police officers and other disciplined services that have been targeted in the anti-government protests.
" aims to provide a high quality life with low cost," the association said, adding it would try to get a good price from Agile for its members.Agile said it had entered into a letter of intent with the Zhaoqing municipal government to build a community featuring Hong Kong culture in a diversified project that is suitable for post-retirement living. It said it had been in discussions since the end of 2018.
