Hong Kong Protests

From CNN, “Since then, the protests have expanded into something bigger, with protesters now demanding greater democracy and an inquiry into alleged police brutality. The protest movement — that on Sunday passed its 10th straight weekend of demonstrations — has seen protesters and police clash numerous times, with police firing multiple rounds of tear gas.” I feel bad for those protesters. Wait until Beijing finally exerts its full authority. Eventually, there will be no democracy in China — one state, one system. Then what? One of those situations where the British empire should have stayed put.
