So.. what's your passion about the matter? Do you have  
relatives there?

It's a sad commentary that democracy cannot gain a foothold  
there.  But there is absolutely no way that the CP will  
capitulate.  The CP will simply continue to make things more  
and more difficult for the people of Beijing.  The folks in HK  
won't have it much easier either.
