Hong Kong protests: Will pro-democracy rallies harm economy?

Tens of thousands of pro-democracy protesters are occupying the streets around Hong Kong's business hub and government buildings.

The protesters - a mix of students and supporters of the Occupy Central pro-democracy movement - are angry at Beijing's plans to vet candidates for Hong Kong's 2017 leadership elections.

China has warned that a large civil disobedience campaign would affect Hong Kong's prosperity - but do workers in the finance industry agree?

The BBC's China editor, Carrie Gracie, assessed the mood on the ground.
