Hong Kong finance staffers gathered in the city’s central business district after work for a “flash mob” protest, the latest demonstration in a movement that’s grown increasingly creative in the face of deepening unrest.
Hundreds of employees from companies across the banking and finance world filled Chater Garden Thursday night, near the offices of major firms including HSBC Holdings Plc, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Standard Chartered Plc. They stood in the garden in the pouring rain, most still in office apparel, many holding umbrellas.
