You only had 3000 people on the streets. Don't make things up please. The half a million is a figure the protest organisers made up. Everyone in HK knows.
We were staying at the Marco Polo
The west only wants Chinese money, but slags all over China whenever they can
This can be seen from very early histories, won't go into details
What you choose to believe is up to you, whether it is media influenced or not, but at end of day, the aim of improving living standards is what a successful government does

Now you caught me out, I was too busy shopping to bother counting
Let me guess, perhaps more than 3,000 but most definitely less than 500,000.
To me as an observer seems a very nice, friendly protest for the moment, what happens next, we will see.
Protesters threatening to start protesting in Government Buildings, I just don't see it escalating to this level. I think the protesters will run out of steam.
Perhaps, water canons next???
MTR

As I said you are entitled to your opinion but please be respectful. I don't need to make thing up in the Australian investment forum about the HK protest. Also, I don't understand why you always need to present yourself in such an arrogant way. We can have different political views but do you need to point your finger at someone else as " spoilt rotten kids" or "making thing up"?
The protest organiser said there were half a million people and police said there were 100,000. You can pick anything in between the figures to believe but not 3,000.

that's what everyone thought about ukraine, until they started throwing molotovs at police
In the meantime, not everyone in HK shares your view.

l am intrigued that there are actually anti-Occupy protesters out there beating up on the pro-democracy protesters.
They are doing what the governments of HK and China would really like to do - harass and move on the pro-democrats - but cannot officially do.
I have to wonder whether the anti-Occupy protesters are really hired goons of the government.
i'm not a fan of them.
what i'm saying is that whatever comes after them as a result of these fights for freedom is usually 100 times worse

Providing good quality living is the most important thing for any government, and the HK Government has done that well. Speaking from the perspective of a Hong Kong permanent resident/citizen too mind you.
it's hard to be wrong here, it's the same scenario repeated again and again.
1) students protesting, with lots of media coverage and support from certain 'democratic' countries
2) police tries to disperse them
3) things heat up, lots of clashes with police, more people get involved
4) unidentified snipers appear and kill some of the protesters and possibly police
5) the whole 'democratic' world blames it on government and
6) things escalate further and the government gets overthrown
7) radicals come to power and people who thought they were fighting for freedom realise they are in deeper **** than they were.
you can throw in an optional invasion with or without UN support
Strannik, I know you are deeply suspicious of the US and the west, its modus operandi and I think you have some right to be cynical, given some of the recent wars, invasions on the pretext of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) etc etc
but I don't think you understand the history of Hong Kong".
I'm actually quite happy with Australia. Being such a fan of totalitarian regimes I thought you must want to live under one. Be my guest...
