HK gov't to hold meeting with Occupy students on Friday - Xinhua | English.news.cn

HONG KONG, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- The government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is to hold the first formal meeting with representatives of the Occupy Central students on Friday afternoon, a government official said on Tuesday evening.

The date for the formal meeting was agreed on at the third preliminary talk between the Hong Kong government and representatives of the students held on Tuesday.

Lau Kong-wah, HK's undersecretary of constitutional affairs, said after the preliminary talk that the government and three student representatives reached a consensus on the time of the meeting, and the meeting's location will be determined later.

According to Lau, the two sides will discuss two issues, namely "constitutional development's constitutional basis" and " constitutional development's legal provision", during the meeting. Each side could send five members to the first meeting.

Lau said the entire process of the formal meeting will be open to media, and the two sides will determine the date for the second round of meeting after Friday's meeting.

On the contrary, Xi is smart.

He is learning from the West and using this HK protests as a way to sharpen his skills playing the "democracy" game.

It takes a lot more skill to control the population by playing the democratic game than to play the authoritarian version.
In both cases, the elites get what they want, and the ordinary people get token concessions.

It is HK will become helpless, not the Mainland China.

I don't give a rat a$$ about HK, these insignificant people can play in this circus as much as they want.

I only care about PRC's sovereignty, not HK or Taiwan.

 

[BoQ77]

Any possibility, HK come back to UK hands ?
UK just get the Yes vote of Scotland.

pro xi faction made a huge cry about guagua but what about her

Though Mr Xi earns a ministerial salary of just £8,000 a year, it was revealed last week that family relations have an enormous empire that includes a £188  million share in an investment company, and property in Hong Kong worth £35.4  million.

its all about money and the rest is just show off

She is Xi Jinping's alleged mistress, but who gives a fck?

Even Putin has divorced from his wife for the new mistress, did his supporters really care?

I don't care about about his alleged mistress back in 20 years ago.

She is not Xi Jinping's daughter, she is too old to be his daughter.

Xi Mingze was born in 1992, does this woman look like that young?

Some foreign Chinese websites claimed this woman was an anchor from Fujian's channel, Xi was getting very close with her when he was working in Fujian, but these allegations are not confirmed, nor it has any evidence.

Exactly so.

Former protester speaks out against Occupy Central movement

Protests in Hong Kong are dwindling down as the Occupy Central movement enters its 10th day. The number of protesters blocking roads around central commercial areas and government headquarters saw a significant drop as voices calling for a return to order grow stronger.

20-year-old Mandy Lau was among the many young protesters who took to the streets last week. Her parents disagreed with her decision, trying hard to persuade her from joining the protests.

"My parents didn’t agree with me to go out, and even now they don’t know I’ve been a part of the movement for a while," Lau said.

Shortly after hitting the streets to join the protests, Lau had a change of heart.

"I sat on the streets of Mong kok for a day, and then I left," Lau said.

She said she joined the protests after hearing from her friends that it was a movement for democracy.

But when she came out onto the streets, the atmosphere and mood of the protests were not what she had expected.

"I think it wasn’t about democracy for Hong Kong, because many clashes happened at the sites, that’s against real democracy. And I found out the protests really disrupted people’s lives, the stores around there were all closed, business in the area was greatly affected. It really hurt Hong Kong’s economy. So I decided to leave," Lau said.

And it’s not just her. Opposition to the protests has grown throughout the city. Over the past 6 days, the Hong Kong Research Association conducted random phone interviews with 1,361 people 18 years or older.

It found that 67% are against the Occupy Central movement, with 54% saying their lives have been greatly affected by the protests. And 46% said the protests have harmed Hong Kong’s international image.

Right now, I’m in causeway bay, one of the protest sites in HK. Over the past few days, the crowds here have dwindled significantly, being just a fraction of what they were last week. It may be due to the pleas from Deans from five universities in HK, who came out to persuade students to return to class and find a different and less disruptive approach.”

A letter from a high school principal, which was widely spread online, also helped many students think twice about the protests.

He criticized the protesters for claiming to represent the people of Hong Kong, when in fact they were no given such validation.

He also pointed to the disruption it has caused and the hostility it has created.

"I’m a student, boycotting is definitely not a good thing. As the old saying goes, if you want to make big contributions, you need to build yourself well first. I still care about politics, but I will better myself first," Lau said.

Now, her main focus is her studies, which will hopefully lead her to a great career that can help contribute to Hong Kong’s further development.

The Indian is having trouble distinguishing HK people rather be called Hong Konger than seeking another nationality. Now he thinks that woman is supposed to be Xi's daughter. That photo is probably taken a long time ago and Xi's daughter should be in her early 20s
