the biggest win HK can get out of this? denying China Taiwan
TW has been getting closer to China in recent years and I'm sure China's just drooling to snap them up. This should be a warning to TW as to what they're in for if they get in bed with China.

@mr_chin, LOL
They're not shirtless and tattied.
I wonder how much propaganda/censorship China is putting up right now. I wonder how they'd twist this to their citizens.
The English site for CCTV shows nothing about this. Anyone in China hearing anything on the news?

There are so many issues here, from education to health care to the widening income gap.
| That is true having experience this first hand while I was in HK for about a week. You seem mega malls being built with mostly big brand names (Element mall came to mind) There is like no one in the mall because of all stores is there (LV, burberry , Gucci just to name a few). There price is way out of reach for locals but not for the mainland people. So all the local shops were being force to close and these shops being built. Actually when I was there at Element there was a tour group from China and this guy purchase a suitcase full of swarovski stuff. It was crazy how they spend money yet they have no class(he actually spit on the floor lol I was like wft....). Also these Mainland Chinese loves to carry around luggages with them but they don't care if it roll over your foot or if they are blocking your path. I saw one time when I was at the MTR someone was carrying the luggage down the escalator and was blocking everyone, someone told this lady to use the elevator next time. This lady started swearing basically saying she can do what she wants and HK is part of China now. You get these little things everyday which disturb your everyday life.
Happen to me too. I was lining up to get a seat at a dim sum place and this Chinese lady decided to cut in front of me. I swear and scream at her in English. She look scare and just back off and went to the back of the line. She mostly doesn't want to deal with someone who doesn't speak her English and I do look bigger than most Chinese in HK. I image if I speak Chinese she would not back out. So you have to deal with these type of little issue constantly which can get to you.
Another issue is the living space. There is literally no personal space yet the HK gov keeps allowing people from Mainland China to flood into HK to take your resource (IE education, health care, your food, your supplies). This might small but image if you live Burnaby but have to drive all the way out to White rock to get your food there because Burnaby is sold out of everything due to all immigration from China, bet you will be piss too. There was an incident back about a year ago when you can't get milk powder for babies because all the people in China are buying them in bulk. Basically you have to travel maybe an hour to a store that's out in the middle of nowhere and hope they have some left.
There is simply not enough housing and have you people paying $2k HK that's around $300 CND just for a bed (a room no bigger than 50sq ft) with no way to improve your living situation. A friend of mine broke up with his gf of 10 years because he can't afford to put a down payment for a place in HK and she can't keep waiting for him. He actually works longer hours than me and have a better job than me yet he is making less than me. I sure feel pretty lucky to be in Vancouver. Sure I might not be making a ton of money or ever will but I live a happy life with little stress, able to afford an apartment and don't have to deal with a lot of stress.
This protest is not just one issue but rather many many many issue together and the people in HK can no longer take it so they just can't handle it anymore. There is just so much more words can't explain. After my last trip to HK, I don't think I will ever want to go back again. Is just too much stress even for a visitor.

Dude, I went to Superstore in Richmond today and they were sold out of family size Multigrain Cheerios because some lady grabbed the last 4 boxes on the shelf and it was on sale for cheaper than the smaller box with a limit of 4... like she needs 4 boxes of Multigrain Cheerios... it's already pissing me off  | |

It might have been the straw the camels back, but to purely pin it on that would be a dumb reason to break up if they were your soul-mate to begin with.
Anyhow, that is digressing from the topic at hand which is of much greater importance.
I don't see this ending well. China has its back up against a wall here like it or not. It's not going to want to look weak, because a loss here could likely fuel ideas of multiple other protests in other chinese cities for all sorts of issues related to governance. I just hope the leaders of the government, both HK and PRC can think of some way appease the population while doing so in a way that doesn't give rise to a revolution all over the country. I don't have that confidence in them though, so I fear the worst for the people of HK.

I'm proud to be born and raised in Hong Kong
It deeply saddens me that it has come to this, it was inevitable. However, having a much better understanding on this stuff now. The real question I'd like to ask is...
Is Hong Kong ready to support themselves? Especially with how powerful China has gotten in the past 10 years, its going to be tough for this port city to ever re-gain the glory it has gotten before.

China have surpass HK in so many ways now in the International stage. Before HK might still be better but not anymore. Quote:

Remember ppl in HK are really forgetful after a few weeks I doubt this many people will still support the protest. Also the people who protest will need to get back their old lives (working, going back to school, taking care of their kids etc etc...) They simply can't afford to be drag on. The PRC isn't going to back down at all.
