HONG KONG (AP) -- Smooth jazz star Kenny G insisted Thursday he's not a
foreign provocateur supporting Hong Kong's pro-democracy protests, after
Beijing signaled its displeasure over his inharmonious visit and repeated
concerns about meddling by external forces.
The American musician created a stir when he tweeted Wednesday about his
visit to the semiautonomous southern Chinese city, where thousands of
student-led protesters have occupied streets for more than three weeks to
press their demands for greater democratic reforms.
"In Hong Kong at the sight of the demonstration. I wish everyone a peaceful
and positive conclusion to this situation," he wrote.
He took to social media again later to declare that he was not trying to
defy the Chinese government, but rather had just happened to come across the
protest zone while walking around Hong Kong as a tourist.
"I am not supporting the demonstrators as I don't really know anything about
the situation," he wrote on his Twitter and Facebook accounts. "I only
wanted to share my wish for Peace for Hong Kong and for all of China."
Photos had circulated earlier on social media of the star by himself and
with protesters at the main protest zone near downtown Hong Kong.
The musician's laidback soprano sax tunes are wildly popular in China,
especially his song "Going Home," which can be heard at train stations,
department stores, airports, hotel lobbies and over loudspeakers in public
parks, and is often used as a signal for people to clear out. He completed a
four-concert tour of the country in September. | b********n
