Hong Kong belongs to China anyway, it was only leased to British in the past.
You get the drift, i do admire your zeal to demonize them though.

Well I'm glad to see you have pulled your head out of the sand and realized the protests are not a tiny faction organized by "external meddling" (as Chinese media portrays it). The stadium video shows how widespread the feeling is.

HK deserves democracy. Actually whole China need democracy. You cannot keep 1.4 billion people under the thumb forever.
