We learn something new each day I guess. 🙂

While this whole situation is very interesting, I do feel bad for the Hong Kong people because I don’t think democracy and/or independence is feasible for them. They don’t even have their own army and it is not as though they have a foreign power willing to back them up a la the American Revolution. The best outcome I can see is for them to become a nice little Chinese city with an interesting history.

I also pity the Hong Kong policemen who are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Whatever the government has done, it can’t really be attributed to them and I can only imagine how stressful everything is for them. The protests have been going on for months but considering how largely peaceful it has been, it shows restraint on both ends.

My worry is that the violence will increase and China will use that as an excuse to send their troops in. There will be implications for places like Taiwan as well (though I think Taiwan may be in a slightly better position since the Taiwanese actually have their own army). Other than that, I really don’t know how things will turn out.

God help us.
