fully agree with HK government! Democracy cant and shouldn't be achieved through one night. It is a progressive process. The whole society needs time to adapt. Those students extreme way to pursuit their request is very dangerous, sure would never be tolerated. A stable and progressively developing HK only fits HKers best interests!

China gave more freedoms to the Hong Kongers than the British ever gave to their colonial subjects, and kept their British boots on the necks of their colonial subjects constantly reminding them they were 'subjects' under British rule?..... And the flag that flew above them was the Union Jack, and not the flag of their country, and they bowed to the British Queen and their British rulers, for over a hundred years in humiliation?.....

I think China has its own sovereignity and Hong Kong is not a state, this is fundermental. Students there forgot that they are breaching the law of a country. Social issues can be intervented but not political ones.
