   So.. what's your passion about the matter? Do you have     
   relatives there?   
      
   It's a sad commentary that democracy cannot gain a foothold     
   there.  But there is absolutely no way that the CP will     
   capitulate.  The CP will simply continue to make things more     
   and more difficult for the people of Beijing.  The folks in HK     
   won't have it much easier either.
