" US Congress Tables Bill Seeking To Monitor Democratic Progress In Hong Kong"

The majority of HKers should stage a protest against US' meddling into China's internal affairs :coffee:

What's the point? That bill is political grandstanding for a domestic audience and there's no way the US can effectively enforce any measures to monitor anything. Aside from sending some stupid interns to take pictures and post it on social media (whilst ever mindful that they don't get their asses kicked or deported).

As I said, Hong Kongers have better things to do than to engage in large idiotic protests. Such as making money and remaining relevant before Shanghai eats their lunch, economically.

Hong Kong activists denied entry to Beijing

Natalie DiBlasio, USA TODAY 12:32 p.m. EST November 15, 2014

Hong Kong students who have led protests opposing Beijing's decision to screen political candidates were denied access to Beijing, where they had planned to meet with top Chinese officials.

Alex Chow, Nathan Law and Eason Chung — members of a group that played a main role in the protests — were denied boarding passes for a Cathay Pacific flight and told their documents that would allow them to travel to Beijing were invalid.

When the flight took off, the seats booked by the student leaders were draped with a sign that reads: "SEAT INOP, DO NOT OCCUPY."

The students had planned to fly to Beijing to seek talks with Premier Li Keqiang and others.

Since late September, students have been occupying streets in three business and shopping districts in Hong Kong to express their objection to the Beijing decision to have a panel screen candidates for the territory's inaugural 2017 election for its chief officer, but the Chinese authorities have denounced the gatherings as illegal and showed no sign of budging.


Beijing has in the past confiscated or refused to renew travel permits for a number of Hong Kong activists, banning them from entering mainland China.

Chow and his two deputies arrived at the Hong Kong International Airport amid a large crowd of supporters, prompting security officers to set up barriers to control the crowd so as not to disrupt the flow of travelers through the facility.

The crowd sang songs and chanted slogans, and about 80 of them held up yellow umbrellas, which have become a symbol for the pro-democracy movement.
 
BBC News - Hong Kong protest leaders denied Beijing flight

Three pro-democracy student leaders from Hong Kong have been stopped from boarding a plane to Beijing.

They had hoped to meet China's leaders as part of their push for greater democracy, but were told at the airport that their travel permits were invalid.

Protesters have been camped out on the streets of the territory since late September.

They want Beijing to allow more candidates to stand in the territory's next leadership election in 2017.

The group were greeted at the airport by fellow democracy activists, who unfurled yellow umbrellas - a symbol of Hong Kong's democracy movement.

They were led by Alex Chow, who heads the Hong Kong Federation of Students, which has played a key role mobilising the protests

The three said they wanted to talk directly with national leaders because so far, the Hong Kong government has told them it is powerless to offer them any concessions.

A spokeswoman for the students said they were prevent from getting on the plane because their return permits had been cancelled.

Beijing has in the past blocked Hong Kong activists from travelling to mainland China.

'Naive'
The BBC's John Sudworth in China says few observers thought the student leaders had any chance of making it out of the arrival hall at Beijing airport, let alone securing a meeting with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang.

An editorial in China's state-run Global Times, written before the activists were stopped, said the group were "naive".

Hong Kong's Occupy Central movement had "failed", the editorial concluded. The protests drew tens of thousands to the streets at their peak.

A few hundred people remain at three key protest sites in organised "tent cities", complete with infrastructure such as food stalls, toilets and study areas.

LMAO. A pathetic endeavor destined to failure from the get go. What world leader would deign to meet with a bunch of retarded students that, given their extracurricular activities, won't even graduate? If any Chinese leader of rank met with those students, he'd be granting them legitimacy. Even a political novice like me can see that. Some leaders these occu-tards have. These brats should go home before their dinner gets cold and their moms whoop their collective butts. :rofl:

They were still crying like the flow of the Yellow River on the day after the police dropped tear gas on them :cheesy:

These so-called "leaders" are not even accepted by most of the protectors.
 
You don't make any sense. Chinese influence made you compromise your democratic principles for renewed access to Chinese markets. You Brits sold out, basically, by refusing to meet with the Dalai Lama and essentially apologizing for even having contemplated further interaction with him. All so you wouldn't be shunned by China. That's a clear demonstration of Chinese influence over Britain. Did you even read the article?

As for the Dalai Lama living in India, if you were even the slightest bit informed, it is he who wants back into China and it is he who wants negotiations with China. China is operating from a position of power and is waiting for him to die, while refusing to acknowledge his existence in the meantime. China has all the leverage yet you come to the complete opposite conclusion somehow.

With regards to Snowden, Hong Kong let him stay there until he decided to go to Russia. US officials were pressing to get him back but no dice. China effectively said "FU" to the US and let the local Hong Kong authorities handle it. That's a slap in the face if I ever saw it. Trivialize, what to Americans, amounted to a huge national security issue by letting local cops take care of Snowden's protection and refusing to allow American authorities to see him. I mean, you had your chance to nab him - Britain should have used its "almighty influence" (according to you, and you alone) over Hong Kong, yet Hong Kong let him leisurely choose his place of residence and he left after exposing a ton of western secrets publicly and privately giving Chinese intelligence agencies a bunch of classified materials. I fail to see how you claim that as a Western victory? Delusion again? :crazy:

As for the Hong Kong protest thing, you said "you still dont have any credible secret service to even maintain law and order in your own country from external/foreign powers like we have witnessed in Hong Kong." News flash, it's not illegal to protest in Hong Kong. It was orderly and there was no rioting. It's the same in the UK. That's why people have flown the ISIS flag in downtown London even in the aftermath of foreign jihadis murdering British soldiers on their own soil. (talk about not being able to maintain law and order :disagree:) Freedom of expression and assembly is a hallmark of "democratic societies" yes? I assume you understand that simple truth since you say you're British. In which case, why is it a law and order issue when people are exercising their legal rights in an orderly manner?

People who broke any laws during the protests were arrested and the protests died out on their own after gaining no traction amongst the vast majority of Hong Kong residents. From hundreds of thousands of protesters to a few hundred today with the remaining few agreeing to police instructions to not block roads or storefronts. That's why they were all hanging out under bridges like homeless people last week and that's why they're in front of the British consulate now. Legally protesting British weakness and inability to effect any democratic change in Hong Kong while your British officials cower in shame at their utter impotence. So much for British influence. ;)

So basically you've disproved none of my points and managed to look uninformed in the process. Congrats? It's clear we're talking past each other at this point.:coffee:

P.S. It's not the job of the "secret service" to handle protesters, either in China or the United States. Do you even know what a "secret service" does before you claim that China doesn't have one? Scratch that, you obviously have no idea. :woot: Seriously, my friend, you need to do some reading and educate yourself before you post anymore in the future. Just some friendly advice

A nice overall primary education which the almighty UK apparently lacks. The problem is, the guys insists not to learn.
from one PDFer to another. Cheers bud. :cheers: :enjoy:

Good news. :cheers:

Like the vast majority of Hong Kongers, I voted for the pro-Beijing camp. Which won the vast majority of votes, which is why we control pretty much every important politician, even up to our Chief Executive CY Leung.

So it's good that the HK government (which was voted in by the majority, including myself), will be cleaning up these troublemakers soon.
 
Hong Kong protesters break into government building
By James Pomfret

HONG KONG Wed Nov 19, 2014 12:35am GMT


(Reuters) - A small group of Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters broke into the city's legislature via a side door early on Wednesday, and police stopped others forcing their way in as tensions in the Chinese-controlled city escalated following a period of calm.

The flare-up came just hours after court bailiffs managed to clear part of a protest camp in the heart of the city that has been occupied by pro-democracy demonstrators for nearly two months, while leaving most of the main protest site intact.

About 100 riot police with helmets, batons and shields stood guard outside the government building in the early hours of Wednesday, facing off with protesters who are demanding free elections for the city's next leader in 2017.



"Police retreat!" the protesters chanted.

It was the first time protesters had broken into a key public building, defying the expectations of many political analysts who had predicted that Hong Kong's most tenacious and protracted protest movement would slowly wind down.

The escalation came in the early hours of Wednesday when a small group of protesters charged towards the legislature and used metal barricades and concrete tiles to ram a glass side door. They eventually smashed through, with several managing to get inside, according to witnesses.

Scores of riot police, some with shields and helmets, rushed over, using pepper spray and batons to keep other demonstrators from also smashing their way in.

Police raised red signs warning protesters to stay back as the activists held up a wall of umbrellas to defend themselves against the pepper spray.

A democratic lawmaker at the scene, Fernando Cheung, said he and other protesters had tried to stop the small group of radical activists from breaking through.

"This is a very, very isolated incident. I think it's very unfortunate and this is something we don't want to see happen because the movement so far has been very peaceful," he said.

On Tuesday, about 30 court bailiffs arrived at the 33-storey Citic Tower, also in the Admiralty district, to enforce an injunction forbidding street barricades after a request from the building's owners.

A similar injunction has been issued, but not yet enforced, for a street in the gritty district of Mong Kok, across the harbour, which has seen some of the most violent clashes of the past seven weeks.

Hong Kong was returned to China from British colonial rule in 1997 under a "one country, two systems" formula that gives the city more autonomy and freedom than the mainland, with an eventual goal of universal suffrage.

The protesters are demanding open nominations in the city's next election for chief executive in 2017. Beijing has said it will allow a vote in 2017, but only between pre-screened candidates.
