These days there is a big event in Hong
Kong that many Hong Kong residents protest for more freedom of electing their
own leader. Hong Kong residents were supposed to be able to freely elect their
next chief executive in 2017. That was considered momentous in Hong Kong
because its current chief executive isn’t elected by the people but by a
1200-strong committee stacked with Beijing loyalists. Last month, Chinese
government announced that it would allow only Beijing-vetted candidates to
participate in the 2017 election, sparking widespread anger.
China now has two systems in one
country—socialism in the mainland, and capitalism in Hong Kong as well as
Macao. It is hard to contain two totally different systems in one body and to keep
a balance. I can’t say that which side is right because it is basically a very
complex question. I am just curious about what the Chinese government will do
the next step, if it will bend its original attitude to release the policy?
To be honest, I am curious about what will be the next step that Chinese government will take as well since similar protest occurred in Mainland China before in 1989, and the consequence was not so good.
