I wish this would get more press locally to contribute, even in miniscule amounts, to the global eye and scrutiny upon the Chinese and HK government. I mean, markets tanking, ebola and ISIL are all important issues too but my newsfeeds are totally getting drowned out by these happenings and there is much less about these protests than there were weeks ago, unless I purposefully look for it. The longer this drags out the more pressure perhaps governments will feel to dole out some form of a concession. That can help set a precedent that protests, even in Chinese states, do indeed do something (and don't leave you with gaping bullet holes)
