The Hong Kong government has decided 1 to suspend a formal meeting planned for later today with representatives of students participating in the Occupy Central movement.


This, after some of the student leaders called on more people to join the protests.


Carrie Lam, Hong Kong chief secretary, says the call for an expanded sit-in has undermined the possibility for constructive 2 talks.


"After much regret, based on the public remarks made by the student representatives over these two days, especially this afternoon, I realized that the basis for a constructive dialogue between us and the students has been seriously undermined. I truly regret that we will not be able to have a meeting tomorrow which will produce any constructive outcome."


The demonstrations 3 themselves have dwindled 4 significantly in size since their peak nearly 2-weeks ago.


However, the occupation of certain areas of Hong Kong by the remaining protesters is still disrupting traffic in the city.
