The hunger strike was a publicity stunt to get attention. Just like these pictures of Joshua Wong in a wheel chair are fake. Really if he were in a condition that required him in a wheelchair, wouldn't he still be in the hospital or bed-ridden someplace else until he got healthier?

So what has Jimmy Lai been up to? I haven't heard much about his reactions through out this. Has he or his media outlets been blindly one-sided or has he changed his tone because of the backlash by HK citizens?

The actions of a minority shouldn't be used to judge the intention of the majority.

Applying this logic, your 200k-strong coloured "revolutionaries" are merely 2.86% of the total 7 million (actually 7.221 million in year 2013, according to government census figures, go check it yourselves) of Hong Kong population, yet you lot claims to represent the will of all the HK people, so where and how do we draw the "minority" yardstick these days, then? And lest we forget which faction of separatists that operates the arsenal, which the police raided about 2 weeks ago, the one that ran by a drag queen?

More so, your "revolutionaries" welcomes those muppets with open arms, and in return they provide muscles for all the dirty works, the thuggish side of your "peaceful, non-violent revolution".

So, minority? Really? Even if your lot's intention is good and noble, you're really lousy in choosing who to share your beds with, and in any revolution, pick the wrong bedfellow will sour, if not ruin, the movement.

So what has Jimmy Lai been up to? I haven't heard much about his reactions through out this. Has he or his media outlets been blindly one-sided or has he changed his tone because of the backlash by HK citizens?

He still plays his "kingpin" roll in all these, that said he doesn't even need to be in the smelly trenches with them grunts, stay low enough to let the "actors/heroes" do their thing in front of cameras, and his media group will do the spinning.

Looking at his broken expression, it looks like he got told to stop all right, but I bet you it wasn't his doctor who convinced him.

Probably his handlers realised what a farce his fake hunger strike was turning into and decided to pull the plug.
Don't you know "a certain ex-president in Taiwan" is very good at this kind of acting? Joshua Wong like many of his ilk learned their craft from Taiwan, so we can immediately draw the similarities instead of being fooled...that said, them diehard worshippers still believes in their idol, too blinded to see the truth.

I do not say this lightly, but what a bunch of retards.

Do they even know what the word 'conolists' means? To use the British Union Jack with such a slogan is like something you would expect from a spoof comedy. To do it in real life and be serious is plain retarded. I honestly cannot think of any other word to use to describe such an act of sheer wilful stupidity.

Bunch of self-hating racists.


I hope the Chinese security forces open files on every single one of them, because if there is ever a conflict or war that is your fifth column right there.

I have to disagree with you plawolf, you did think of better words to describe them: self-hating racists.

Ok, ok, ok

So much has happened over the last day or two.

I'm going to go out on a limb to make a few bold but conservative trends that I've caught on while observing this quagmire:

1) Only a minority of the HK population actually are involved in the protests ...?
2) There are significantly more opposition to the protest than the protesters themselves and the neutral bystanders ...?
3) The ostentatious goal of these occupiers is for universal suffrage for Hong Kong, and more recently, a de-facto severing of ties between the island and the mainland ...?

Which leads me to ask this question...

4) If HK protesters want their authorities to be democratic, shouldn't the "correct" solution be to put down those protests for once and for all in light of the opposing majority ...? Hypocrisy much ...?

Please correct wherever wrong.

Well, learn from the shining city on a hill, send in the riot police equip with M16, tear gas, MRAP, sniper rifles, machine guns, etc (i.e. Ferguson)

They actually sent in the National Guard...the equivalent would be the PAP or even the PLA, then. But by this stage of development, military response actually would be counterproductive, as the insurgents' loose alliance is falling apart, seriously absent of any overall leadership that has the command of the horde, lest to present a worthy representative to the negotiation table to sign and honour any deal whatsoever.

The actions of a minority shouldn't be used to judge the intention of the majority.

Thereby it should be clear the majority of protesters ("100,000 at their peak") who have long ago ceased protesting realize that their demands do not solve the practical problems underlying their frustrations.

It should also be clear that the majority of Hong Kong people who never protested and have petitioned (over 1 million) against the protests are amenable to the Hong Kong and China governments' plans to further democratize Hong Kong.

This actually reminds me of what happened when the Qing dynasty fell in the 1910's. When the new govn't told the people to cut off their queue and have normal hair style, many old conservative scholars cried out that it was an insult to their ancestors. However, these scholars had all forgotten that their ancestors sacrificed their lives to resist the queue. It was the Manchurian invaders who invaded China and first forced their ancestors to have the queue. At the beginning of the Qing dynasty, the Manchurian ordered the Chinese men to shave off the front half of their heads and to have a queue. Their order was: "if you want to keep your head, shave your hair; if you want your hair, we will cut off your head!" That was how the Chinese men ended up with the queue. Many Chinese at the time insisted on keeping their hair and refused to shave off their heads, an effort to maintain some of their Chinese identity. They ended up losing their lives. These people would have no idea that some two hundred years later, their own descendants would consider cutting off the queue as an insult to them...

The same thing is happening in Hong Kong... Who knows how many Hong Kong locals lost their lives to resist the colonial rule of the British... And now their descendants are protesting on the streets to have the British back??? What an insult! What an insult?

Guys I'll be visiting HK soon, most probably this month. I'll record using my camera the interesting things I see and if conditions permit I'd like to visit the OC sites myself to take a real look. If you guys are interested I'll post some pictures here for you guys.

This is actually my first time actually being in HK (apart from transiting at the airport), so everything will most likely be fresh and new to me. I'll try to observe as much as possible.
