China lawyers may have won the recent
round on its long battle over Hong Kong on genuine democracy, but with a city with
simmering anger and ingrained activism the issue will not fade away.
Pro—democracy supporters has been
threatened more than a year now, for them to take over the city's financial
district if their request for full the universal suffrage were not met.
Beijing officials called their
bluff, insisting that the financial hub's leader vetted in dealing Hong Kong's
decades old democracy movement.
After vowing to a new "era
of the civil disobedience", leaders from Occupy Central, the
largest grassroots group, backtracked, admitting little can be done to change
China's mind -- and even hinting that support for their cause was waning.
While senior officials of Beijing
look at the discord ranks of Hong Kong's democracy supporters that fuel them and
encourage thousands of protesters to go on the city streets still remain.
“Hong Kong has been experiencing
crisis in governance” this was the statement of a law professor in the
UHK.
The Increasing inequality of
income and perceived cosines between the city officials and business privileged
has driven the demand for leader that is accountable for its actions.
