HK and Singapore governments are doing the same thing but they are more skillful by using unfair regulations and conceal their act using financial engineering.

When and where ? I mean the protest scene not the self-burning

Hong Kong residents angry about protesters
CCTV.com

Many people in Hong Kong say their lives and businesses have been disrupted by the "Occupy Central" movement.

Some protesters set up beds on the streets, while others play cards, mahjong, badminton and table tennis in the middle of the road. In Mong Kok, some protesters even set up hot pots to eat together, angering residents and merchants in the neighbourhood.

In Causeway Bay, residents gathered together to demand that the protesters to stop holding concerts at night. The Mong Kok area has been listed as "high-risk" by the police, with a higher chance clashes between angry residents and protesters. Local residents have been speaking out.

"These protesters shouldn't pursue political demands this way. I think Hong Kong society and people’s daily lives will be affected if these protests continue. Now people face traffic jams when they go out or go to work. These protesters want to disrupt public order," a Hong Kong citizen said.


HK lawmakers seek to probe who is behind protests

While protesters continue to remain on the streets, the House Committee of the Hong Kong Legislative Council has passed a motion proposing an investigation into who is behind the Occupy Central movement.

The proposed motion, which will be discussed at the General Assembly on October 29th, still needs approval from other committees of the Hong Kong Legislative Council.

Many legislative members from the House Committee say the organization and mobilization capabilities of the Occupy Central movement are beyond imagination.

They believe the Legislative Council has the responsibility to establish a special committee to investigate who is planning and providing funds for the protesters.

Foreign role?
The motion comes amidst growing friction between China and the US with regard to the protests.

On Thursday, the US Congressional-executive Commission on China released an annual report, saying that the US should follow Hong Kong’s democratic development, enhance exchanges with the region and deploy senior officials there.

The report led to a strong response from the Chinese Foreign Ministry, which said that “no foreign government, organization or individual has the right to get involved in Hong Kong’s affairs, which are purely internal matter for China,” according to a People’s Daily report.

Adding to the debate, the People’s Daily also published a commentary piece on Saturday, arguing that Louisa Greve, a Director of the US-based National Endowment for Democracy, “was already meeting with the key people from Occupy Central several months ago, to talk about the movement.”

The US, for its part, has rejected claims that it has had a role to play in the protests. The Associated Press quotes State Department spokesperson Marie Harf as saying that it ” categorically rejects accusations that we are manipulating the activities of any person, group or political party in Hong Kong.”

Cyber attacks & counter protests

Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, 11 people suspected of attacking government Internet networks have been arrested.

Nearly 54 non-government websites have also been hacked during the Occupy Central movement, the police said on Saturday. If found guilty, they could all face up to 5 years in jail.

Disruptions to daily life such as these have led to more and more people opposing the Occupy Central movement.

Now one such group has launched a petition campaign in the Mong Kok neighborhood, calling for the government to clear demonstrators.

The group calls itself the Blue Ribbon campaign and has been extending support to Hong Kong police.

It says that it hopes the SAR government will clear the main protest sites before Tuesday. Otherwise, it could begin an anti-Occupy action to take back the roads for the residents.

The report led to a strong response from the Chinese Foreign Ministry, which said that “no foreign government, organization or individual has the right to get involved in Hong Kong’s affairs, which are purely internal matter for China,”

Whoa, such strong words almost like threat

If found guilty, they could all face up to 5 years in jail

Whoa, such tough justice!

By the way, yesterday, there was a certain demonstration in the US suppressed by overwhelming and violent police response:

Is HK police too soft? I guess not. That's the right attitude by a public security agency.

"Police keep advancing on protestors in Shaw neighborhood of St. Louis, the United States, on Oct. 12, 2014. St. Louis police arrested more than a dozen protestors and used pepper spray and chemical agents like tear gas upon the protestors Sunday morning. "

The size of protesters looked a lot smaller than those stupid revellers in "Occupy Central" and yet pepper spray, tear gases were deployed. This should be shown to the trouble makers in HK

this is perhaps the 6th clashes between the us police against the black folks within the last few weeks in america
For over 1 century America has been trying to eradicate racial discrimination in their "greatest democracy" but is there any success?

What are the revellers in "Occupy Cenral" crying about when China gives them the dawn of democracy just 17 years after the handover while the Brits have totally denied them of the system for 150 years of colonial reign?

not easy to just strip off those people what they achieved.

Emm....in my view, what you suggested is meaningless, this young protester look so familiar in chinese memory, remenber？culture revolution.

They are young, easy to be fanned, gathered to be force, with endless passion, be opinionated, radical, never learn to be compromise in negotiation, they don't even know what politics really is.

45 years ago, this kind of student heard Mao's call. with Mao's political support, they walk on the street, kill their teachers, governors, and somebody others un-within their side, for beat down the established un-communism authority. My god, they did this for communism, but they even did not know what communism really is. They rob police and army men for guns(police dare even not to arrest them because of the "politics right" in that decade), later these students have factions, lead by different ideal madman or careerist, they shoot each other, piece each other with knives, and torch poor political weaker ones, thousands died per day, totally anarchism.

We have got enough lesson from this, and this will never back to stage, teenagers are already under control. So what are you worry about? If they did legally, they are a joke. If they did illegally, prison are waiting for them.

Write article to fight back is meaningless, you can never wake up a man of no knowledge, or a man pretended sleeping. Words is weak, dare those men who scold us really attack China? Attack the permanent members of the UN security council？Attack a state with nuke?

I suggest to care more about our internal affairs, outer world will only respect those who are rich and strong. when we had more than 3 times of the US GDP, no word can make us angry.

Why mainland journalist unable to win HK young people heart?

Instead they prefer what pro-democracy controlled media say?

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

I think what Chinese government need to do is investigate who started the propaganda to get all these people into central city
because it appears to be an organized method , and the reasoning or logic is illogical

China is making Trillion dollar profits , Hong Kong is still the same

Some outside force is stirring this up and this needs to be investigated at once

There are multi dimension factor in HK protest. These are
1) Western fomenting protest
2) HK people rise up against elite
3) HK people want democracy

PRC commenters would rather prefer framed it under western vs China. HK people indeed are not align to PRC values. However, diversity is exactly the strong point of HK. If PRC get rid of all opposing forces in HK, HK will no longer be unique and will be yet another PRC city.

In fact, elements of chaos are inherent in all democratic system. Only N Korea-ism is completely sanitized. The existence of chaos enable democratic countries to be resilient against shock.

PRC looks strong but she is inherently fragile. As we can see, a normal harmless protest common in all western states threaten to diminish the prestige and offer precedence against central government.

India can survive hundreds of thousands of violent protest. State of India will still be there even she screw up big time, fighting civil war, fight terrorist, losing wars, inactions against famine, dieseases and malnutrient...etc Any of these happening in PRC can bring the whole country down.

The structural instability of PRC against shock is what PRC needs to improve on for long term sustainability.

Hundreds of unidentified people, some wearing masks, have tried to break down protest barriers in the heart of Hong Kong's business district, scuffling with protesters who have occupied the streets for the past two weeks.

Taxi drivers, opposed to the protests which have seriously affected their business, surrounded some barricades as police tried to protect protesters. ( most of taxi drivers are immigrants from mainland )

Earlier Monday, Hong Kong police started to remove barriers erected by pro-democracy protesters who have occupied several sites around the city, which is ruled under China's "one country, two systems" principle.

At the main protest site around government offices in the downtown district of Admiralty, scores of student protesters faced off with police who were massing in the area.

The Hong Kong government has said the demonstrations are illegal.

On Sunday night, the city's chief executive, Leung Chun-Ying, said the protesters had "almost zero chance" of changing Beijing's stance and securing free elections.

Overnight, student numbers dwindled and some were caught unawares by the police action.

The police were dressed in high-visibility jackets but were not wearing riot gear.

Police also gathered at a secondary site in Mongkok, according to television reports.

Demonstrators calling for Beijing to grant full democracy to the former British colony have brought parts of Hong Kong to a standstill over the past fortnight.

There have been clashes with elements who oppose the blockades and widespread disruption.

Despite repeated orders to disperse, the rallies have taken on an air of permanence with tents, portable showers and lecture venues, drawing thousands of people in recent evenings.

After police were criticised for unleashing tear gas on the earliest rallies, Mr Leung said that if the government had to clear the protests sites, police would use a "minimum amount of force".
