The US media is reporting nothing but the propaganda from the Occupy protestors. I especially love how politicians and the media are reporting China has reacted excessively. These protestors are complete political amateurs. Remember when they were bragging how they weren't violent and didn't destroy property like other protestors around the world? I said early on that was naïve to make such a statement because it's going to be a different tune when they don't get what they want. And look at them now... And these devoid of conscious college students don't look at their rich mommies and daddies property investments as contributing to the very problems of expensive housing and other things they complain about.
The British are angry that their MPs are being denied entry into Hong Kong. How about China sending these Occupy protestors on a one way trip to Great Britain. And China can do what I read about some American freed from being a hostage in the Middle East where the US government charged him for the plane ride home.

Actually, every country has the right to deny anyone else visas on grounds they deem fit, so it is a rather strange statement they're making, unless there was some kind clause in the original joint declaration or basic law that gave provision or exemption for such visits.
If these MPs really want to start escalate their position they're obviously free to bring it up to Cameron and see if he has the stomach for a fight.

The fact that the British upheld the licence to sell tear gas grenades, amongst other weapons and equipments, to HK law enforcement agencies tells you where the British government really stands, and especially when the London Police crackdown on the Westminster protesters with such force and efficiency.
And truly, those parliament MPs really have no free pass to anywhere, neither does the Joint Declaration provided any ground for them to do so, thus Beijing has every right as a sovereign nation to slam the door on them, and it's better to do it now than having those so-called "gentlemen" rode their long plane rides to HK, then being denied entry.
It's very clear which side you are on, as do I, so let us be brutally honest about this...
1. Obviously you've either turned a blind eye towards the kind of fascist lingo they flung at anyone who disagree with them, or that you can't read Chinese so you don't know. Should they in English and I quote them here, it'd be more than enough to get me banned here, that's how bad things are from Day 1, T-hour.
2. Which is the reason why Beijing, amidst this coloured revolution (mind you, this insurgency has no name at first, it was the Western media outlets like CNN and Time coined "Umbrella Revolution" on Day 1, and then the insurgents blissfully picks it up) did next to nothing overtly; and thanks to the very participants who also behind the "anti-locust movement" early this year, they've done the work for Beijing (if not more), so much so that mainland popular opinion has been alienated long since this insurgency began, now they not only take up Beijing's stance, and simply watch HK tearing itself apart. Yes, your insurgency failed to get traction in Mainland China, the ultimate goal of those who instigates it.
What's more, with the insurgency losing steam, they complained it's getting boring, so they - and I to be honest - hoped that during the last Sunday's clash they'd storm the PLA Garrison HQ just across the street from the GovHQ. Now that'd be a real game changer! Well, I guess we can't expect street thugs upgraded into qualified revolutionaries.
3. That's because that's the "international standard" they've been yabbering day in and out, and when you're one of those citizens who've to live up with the negative effect of the insurgency and the instigators proclaim they'd never quit for anything short of total victory, what are you going to do if you're not one of them? If you can't grab a gun and join a militia to battle them for the streets, your only hope is the police give those brats a proper "education".

And the usual drum roll of "do as I said, not what I do" mantra keeps on rolling.

Perhaps you would like to rethink the words you use to describe your fellow countryman.
They are indeed powerful, even able to mass beat a police officer into unconsciousness when anywhere else on earth the officer would have shot in self defence. Remarkable.
And please, for every picture of a hopeful, peaceful protester standing with an easy going expression there are pictures and videos of less peaceful, more violent gatherings and encounters. For the pictures of lone protesters being surrounded by police there are also pictures of lone policemen facing hordes of protesters around them.
I wouldn't throw around words like fascists but touting a feel good rhetoric and a doe eyed movement is naive.

A few cherry picked and sanitised propaganda pieces prove nothing.
Or do you still think that pretty young lady from the 'voice of Ukraine' propaganda viral video is representative of the government and movement that slaughtered their fellow countrymen by the thousands?

A (clearly carefully-prepped) photo speaks of nothing unless we get clear and unbiased accounts of what is really going on in HK. Unfortunately, such a feat is nothing short of impossible in light of media bias from both sides.
