China Hong Kong SAR: News and Images

[TaiShang]

@TaiShang , is reporting this thread because he does not want to see the reality.

to please him, one should always post rosy picture of china and avoid posting anything that defies such pictures.

if this could only work in real life

'Cause that's becoming repetitive and boring to the point of trolling the threads for the sake of flame-baiting. Now, if I created a thread with a title "Why India so dirty and stinky?" and posted from some veritable resources such as Reuters, would not that be a similar act of trolling?

Just as protests are going on in Central District of Hong Kong, China, so does India still stinky and dirty and unimaginably unhygienic. There would be no difference between the two threads in terms of getting attention, and creating war of words.

Now Indian, go back to your unhygienic democracy, say something if you have something new to say.

Hence I request sir @Hu Songshan to take care of this troll @Fukuoka and clean his mess.

so it has finally begun

Hong Kong (CNN) -- Hong Kong police and pro-democracy protesters faced off Friday morning outside the office of the city's chief executive -- the latest sign of simmering tensions in the city, even after the announcement of potential breakthrough talks.

The demonstrators blocked two vehicles, which authorities say contained food meant for police, from entering the premises of Chief Executive C.Y. Leung's office building. They chanted "shame" and "we don't trust you."

Several dozen police officers were at the scene carrying helmets, shields and, in a few cases, batons.

The confrontation comes amid intense pressure by the student-led movement for Leung's resignation. Yet he has refused do so, even warning amid protesters' threats to occupy government building that there will be "serious consequences" if police lines are crossed.

That is called politeness, everyone!

Shame on all of you here!!!

You guys need to learn about manner from 17 years old boys!


Come here, I will teach all of you about politeness! Naughty people!

These people are still your fellow Han Chinese, they are educated, well versed in lit (I'm assuming since Hong Kong has one of the best educational systems in the entire Asia-Pacific). China's handling of the situation , with restraint and consideration, will show case to the world of her as a responsible power.

In general, they may be well educated in English, business, finance, media and (British) law.

However, also in general, they are not well educated in science, engineering, Chinese, literature and politics. Most HKers don't pursue such topics because they don't lead to the comparative strengths of the territory.

I'm not denigrating Hong Kong but lets be realistic here. They have their strengths, and weaknesses, and it makes no sense to exaggerate their strengths and ignore their weaknesses. That only leads people to arrogance, and arrogant people never check themselves before they wreck themselves, like the students right now.

That's the reason why the Qin Dynasty collapsed after the death of Qin Shi Huang Di. Whereas the Confucian Lit is what defined China for over 2,000 years, and influenced the civilizations of East Asia. It was Confucianism that helped Chinese Culture one of the most glorious in the known world. Master Kong Zi reminds us to espouse 君子. Be the superior man in righteousness...!

Not because of legalist , lol.

HK government official to meet with Occupy Central students

Hong Kong's Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying announced late Thursday evening that he will not resign and is appointing Chief Secretary Carrie Lam as government representative to talk with students participating in the ongoing Occupy Central movement.

Leung and Lam held a short press conference at Government House in Central District minutes before a deadline set by students group which demands Leung's resignation.

Thousands of protesters blocked major roads in several districts in Hong Kong since Sept 28 to express discontent with electoral reform package for choosing the region's next leader.

Students issued an open letter asking for a meeting with the Chief Secretary on Thursday evening. Leung said the government has

studied the letter in detail. Carrie Lam said she wished to contact students as soon as possible to arrange the meeting, but neither she or Leung gave a specific date.

Leung stressed that he will not resign, saying he will continue to work for promoting Hong Kong'sconstitutional reform which aims at universal suffrage to elect the region's next chief executive in 2017.

The Chief Executive said the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government and the police force have shown the greatest patience and endurance in the past five days.

Leung hoped that all circles in society could continue to carry forward the constitutional reform in a pragmatic, rational and peaceful manner.

Seriously? leung is a joke. All he had to do was instruct the teachers to continue their schedule. if students fail to show up for test, it's a fail. You don't need to negotiate...lol.
Leung need to step down because he is sucks.

giving universal suffrage to the protesters will mean total separation of hong kong from china, it will compromise china's territorial integrity

but not giving it will mean, the great dyslexia leader will continue this uprising

meanwhile

8.50am: The regular daily meeting of Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying with principal officials has been moved to Government House – Leung's official residence – as the Tamar government headquarters has been besieged by protesters.

 

[Aepsilons]

stop all those crazy talk about threat or violence, a compromise will be made between HK government and the protest leaders. In the begining those who lead the protesters want to make a deal, make outragerous demand is good in making better deal when both parties meet "in between" aka 漫天要价，坐地还钱. Now those middle school students are quite useful for public sympathy / support, next time I suppose they will make good use of primary school pupils.

Your post is sobering and has rectified my confidence in Chinese prudent thinking. Thanks.

That may be so. Anyways, I hope and pray for a peaceful resolution to this situation; for both the Chinese Government and the Hong Kong participants in this civil disobedience. I am never in favor of the use of wanton violence, when it can be solved diplomatically. Thank You for your clarification , too, on HK weaknesses and strengths. I appreciate the clarification/ correction.

No need. In a week or two, the novelty of living like homeless squatters will wear off and they'll go home, having achieved nothing. The Chinese government is behaving perfectly correctly, IMO. The HK police have it all under control.
