They are fighting to maintain their autonomy from the communist mainland government. Interesting symbol they chose to use to highlight that fight for liberty:

It is. I am afraid that there is no way China will budge on this.

Just like in 1989 China will only let go so far then send in the military to stop it and restore order China's way.

Sad but true. Anyone that ever thinks China is anything other than an enemy of the American way of life is ignoring reality. Hong Kong could really get bad in a hurry.

I think there is a whole lot more going on behind the scenes than we know. I would bet that the Chinese government is some how working up both side to create a situation where they can "Ride in and restore order".

Hong Kong is a wonderful place and most of the people love their freedom and just want to be left alone by China.
