French cosmetics group L’Oréal closed stores across Hong Kong on Wednesday as protesters accused it of “kowtowing” to China by cancelling a marketing event featuring a local singer who supports the democracy movement in the semi-autonomous city.
Several politicians and dozens of protesters demonstrated outside the company’s offices at the Times Square shopping mall in Causeway Bay, a major Hong Kong shopping district, holding banners calling for a boycott of L’Oréal and no “kowtow to Beijing”.
