Good luck and goodbye, Hong Kong.- It's like the reverse of the Berlin Wall coming down.yuekit
- But keep in mind, HK never had a real democracy. This limits things even more but previous system already stacked the deck in favor of established interests.yuekit
- True. But I think now the "established interests" are more concerning than before. But what do I know - I just would like to go there again.Longcopylover

Beijing has a plan to change Hong Kong – but can citizens fight back?
Even before Beijing gains complete control, “Global Hong Kong” has emerged and energised the local movement, and will evolve into a parallel structure detached from the establishment, a force of resistance Beijing cannot readily get rid of.
- was thinking of something similar today after the UK granted assylum/citizenship to 3 million natives of Hong Kong. There can still be a Hong Kong outside of_niko

- True, what I mean is China has all the leverage here and always did. But whether they can change minds of an entire generation of young people remains to seen.yuekit

Grim. Only 2nd degree burns, dude was lucky.
- pretty fucking disgusting. The protesters are getting just as bad as the police_niko
- but fuck me, if this is what it's escalating to, does this end with Chines tanks rolling into Hong Kong for an all out occupation?_niko
- or maybe Hong Kong has realised all is lost at this point and there is no end-game other than to burn this bitch down so China has nothing to take._niko
- Yeah hard to say how it ends. On one hand Hong Kong is part of China, that's not going to change. On the other hand you have a population that mostlyyuekit
- supports the protesters, and gets more radicalized the more you push them. What good is an occupation going to do?yuekit
