September 30, 2014 (Tony Cartalucci - LD) - The "Occupy Central" protests in Hong Kong continue on - destabilizing the small southern Chinese island famous as an international hub for corporate-financier interests, and before that, the colonial ambitions of the British Empire. Those interests have been conspiring for years to peel the island away from Beijing after it was begrudgingly returned to China in the late 1990's, and use it as a springboard to further destabilize mainland China
Unfortunately they've met a force that is faster, more authoritarian, and much more strict than anything the Chinese Communist Party could ever try to come up with: The Wikipedia Admins
Freedom is a privilege, everybody knows that. It's the first thing taken away when shit goes down.
"Now the students are trying to control the government," complained a man who gave only his first name, Jackie. "If there was a riot on Wall Street in America they wouldn't tolerate such troublemaking."
Is this still ongoing? I just read a news article that mentioned 'the recent protests in Hong Kong' and I wondered if they really meant 'the current protests' as I've not heard anything (I don't do news - what little I do get by oversaturation is "fucking immigrants are flooding us, we need to deport the fucking lot of them" ('coz UK is such a friendly place).What's the latest Tiwa?

(Reuters: Tyrone Siu)RELATED STORY: Hong Kong authorities begin clearing main protest campMAP: Hong KongHong Kong riot police have clashed with pro-democracy protesters after a small group broke into a government building in Admiralty district.About 100 police with helmets, batons and shields stood guard outside the city's Legislative Council in the early hours of Wednesday, facing off with protesters.A small group of protesters charged towards the building and used metal barricades and concrete tiles to ram a glass side door.They eventually smashed through, with several managing to get inside, witnesses said.Police rushed over, using pepper spray and batons to keep other demonstrators from also smashing their way in.Four people were arrested while three officers were treated in hospital for injuries, police said in a statement.The protest site was peaceful later in the morning, with just a handful of police on guard.It was the first time protesters had broken into a key public building, defying the expectations of many political analysts who had predicted that Hong Kong's most tenacious and protracted protest movement would slowly wind down.
Demonstrators have been camped on three major Hong Kong thoroughfares for seven weeks, demanding free leadership elections.
POLICE have arrested protesters as they move in to clear Hong Kong's last remaining pro-democracy site.JUST a handful of demonstrators are making a final peaceful stand, after the main camp was demolished last week.After more than two months of rallies, a committed core of around a dozen protesters staged a sit-in at the centre of the last site in the busy shopping district of Causeway Bay as police cut away barricades and tore down banners and shelters.From students to the elderly, the protesters were led away without resisting, some shouting "We will be back" and "Fight to the end".Meanwhile, trucks and cleaning teams moved in to remove the debris, and roads around the site which have been closed for weeks reopened.Causeway Bay is the smallest of the three camps that sprang up in late September, paralysing sections of the city, as part of a student-led campaign for free leadership elections.Activists occupied major traffic arteries after China said in August that candidates for the city's chief executive elections in 2017 would first be vetted by a loyalist committee, a move campaigners said will ensure a pro-Beijing stooge in the leadership role.
