I like your explanation for Taiwan’s situation. 😛

Yes, I’m from Singapore, though I was in Hong Kong until recently (managed to make it out before the airport sit-ins). 😀 I must say, the Hong Kong people truly know how to protest. I am very impressed by what they are doing.

Personally, I think there is a link between mass protests and rebel/revolutionaries. If not, there should be one because I do not know how an undercover group can possibly gain popular support and win public trust if they have always been operating secretly until the last minute. Maybe that’s why I have never really liked rebel groups in fiction. To me, most fictional revolutionaries seem to be sorely lacking in leadership qualities and, you know, the knowledge and skills necessary to govern a nation after the story ends. Such stories also tend to focus only on a special group of rebels. In contrast, the movement in Hong Kong is decentralised and leaderless so it really does seem like a pure uprising of the people, which I find really interesting.
