I note that while many have read about the demonstrations few have participated in it.

The taxi drivers are not enthusiastic for the aims of the demonstrators, and the broader business and working class even less so.

The students and bored can demonstrate for whatever they wish for, but their chances of success ranges between zip and nought.

Tens of thousands may sound like a lot but truthfully inconsequential in 7+M of HK where an apartment building sale would draw that many folks.

China is the sovereign, and has a right as well as duty to take role in determining the next chief executive officer. When China and Britain agreed on the terms of the handover 1997, Britain insisted and china agreed that "... 50 years ... no change ..." and china tend to honor her treaty commitments.

Besides, china is merely making sure that the wise of Hong Kong remain in charge of leadership selection, per astute Ancient Greek democracy as opposed to the dysfunction modern variety championed by nyt and wsj.
