China Goes Back On Its "Promise" to Hong Kong.

In case you haven't heard yet, China has gone back on its promise to Hong Kong that it will allow open nominations for the 2017 elections. In August 2014 China's top legislative committee ruled that voters will only have a choice from a list of two or three candidates selected by a nominating committee. Since the nominating committee is very much pro-Beijing, it is likely that any candidates who oppose China and want change for Hong Kong will not be selected. If this continues, there will be no change for Hong Kong unless it's 'approved' by the big guns in China.

Although Hong Kong technically 'belongs' to China, It has it's own legal system and rights but now China has basically said "Fuck it, HK, I don't care what we promised, we're just gonna control your government even more just because we fucking want to"

Controlled democracy is not a democracy at all.

Right Now, Pro-Democracy activists in Hong Kong, the largest group being "Occupy Central" are holding rallies in protest along side student campaigners who held a 5 day boycott of classes. Hundreds of students rushed Hong Kong government headquarters Sept. 26, resulting in clashes with riot police. At least 28 people were injured, including police. More than 60 people were arrested including a prominent student activist and a local politician. The students chanted the slogan: "No fear for civil disobedience" as they were led away by police. It is alleged that pepper spray and tear gas has been used against protesters without mercy. I know that my cousins are protesting against this right now and I hope for them to keep safe.

Many people fear that the Tienanmen Square Massacre incident is happening again in Hong Kong.

I know that HK is only small but that doesn't mean we should be ignored.
