Well I capitalize substantive words on my title usually so the For here is a verb.
People in Hong Kong are currently requiring the right to vote for a government instead of accepting premiers from the Chinese government just like when it was a colonization of the UK. Beijing had promised to give the people in Hong Kong this right of voting before Hong Kong was handed back by the UK, but it had been deliberately pushing off the time of when this will actually happen. At first it was said that people will have the right to vote in 2007, then 2012, then 2017 and they are still pushing it off saying that 'no earlier than 2020'.
What is it that the government fear?
Well the independence of Hong Kong could be voted once its people were given the right to vote. That's obviously one thing. And why does it fear that? Because, China is simply not that good for places like Hong Kong to be willing to remain in, it is just not attractive enough anyway. A country of no freedom, but suppression. A country of no power, only bragger. I would vote for Hong Kong to be independent from China if I were to vote, for the sake of the people in Hong Kong. What good is it to remain in such white terror while you have the right of cutting the shit?
I was angry hearing that journalists of Hong Kong was treated completely unfairly while they were trying to cover the truth behind the recent cases of needle attacks in Xinjiang Uighur Autonomy District. The journalists were unlawfully arrested and even beaten up, and afterwards given the charge of 'interviewing with no journalist ID' while they kept trying to show their IDs during the offense. There were no apologies so far and when the press conference addressing this issue was held days later by the local government, the involved presses are not even invited and they lie shamelessly on their 'research' of the issue. Freedom of press is one of Hong Kong's core value and people of Hong Kong are no longer tolerant to the obvious ignorance of this value of the Chinese government.
Another thing is there are senators in Hong Kong representing the Pan-Democratic Parties are plotting on pressurizing the premier on addressing the voting rights and threatening with a major resignation of the parliament if the premier is not able to come up with a strategic and applicable plan of the realization of voting rights in Hong Kong. The major resignation could mean the dismissal of the parliament which needs to be re-elected or, a formation of a new parliament all together.
The only problem is, the Chinese government had settled an army in Hong Kong and more could be through the border within hours when needed, while the people of Hong Kong does not have an army of their own, it would have to rely on someone else if there would ever be a fight. (well I am quite sure if Hong Kong voted itself independent China will attack without hesitation) Who is out there for Hong Kong to rely on before it gets global attention (which, by then Hong Kong might've already been conquered completely)? Sadly, no one.
