Nearly five months of protests, coupled with a trade war with the U.S., have plunged Hong Kong into a recession. The city's economy fell by three-point-two-percent from the second to the third quarter, marking the worst economic performance in a decade. Weekend protests have prompted public transportation shut-downs as well as the early closure of malls and other stores, deeply affecting the economy. Travel to the city is also down. During the main holiday earlier this month, the number of visitors dropped by 55-percent from the same period last year ago.
