Hong Kong Protests

---

(Reuters) - Hong Kong democracy protesters defied volleys of tear gas and police baton charges to stand firm in the centre of the global financial hub on Monday, one of the biggest political challenges for China since the Tiananmen Square crackdown 25 years ago.

The Communist government in Beijing made clear it would not tolerate dissent, and warned against any foreign interference as thousands of protesters massed for a fourth night in the free-wheeling, capitalist city of more than 7 million people.

"Hong Kong is China's Hong Kong," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying defiantly told a news briefing in Beijing.

The unrest, the worst in Hong Kong since China resumed its rule over the former British colony in 1997, sent white clouds of gas wafting among some of the world's most valuable office towers and shopping malls before riot police suddenly withdrew around lunchtime on Monday.

Tens of thousands of mostly student protesters are demanding full democracy and have called on the city's leader Leung Chun-ying to step down.

China rules Hong Kong under a "one country, two systems" formula that accords the territory only a degree of democracy.

As riot police withdrew on Monday, weary protesters slept beside roads or sheltered from the sun beneath umbrellas, which have become a symbol of what some are calling the "Umbrella Revolution". In addition to protection from the elements, umbrellas have been used as flimsy shields against pepper spray.Hong Kong protesters defy Beijing with calls for democracy | Reuters

One biggest complaint from Hongkongers about Chinese mainlanders is that the latter come to Hongkong in hordes and make purchases by wholesale in groceries for baby Milk powder and Canned goods. Causing shortages for the local population.
Imagine, the entire Luzon area coming to Cebu City to buy all our grocery's milk products. Kinsay di maglagot?

[salbahis]

the reason ani dili gusto mga taga HK nga but-an sila s mainland govt sa pag pili sa ilang leader... samot na nga ang taiwan nga ni support ani... i would not be surprised if HK would declare its sovereignty against mainland chicoms!!

[Crinkles11]

Murag wala man guro ni sila but-i sa Chinese govt. naa sila kaugalingong systema.

Dili lang ganahan ang taga HK sa taga mainland samot na nagkadaghan na ang taga mainland sa HK.

Kun magubot ang mainland posible mobalhin mokagiw paingon sa HK, murag mao gyud ni ilang gipangandaman.

Naa gyud hinuoy batasan aning taga mainland nga makalagot, manasmag unya dili pa gyud molinya sa train. pataka lang pangluwa ang uban bisan sulod sa train mangulihad, mag ilis diaper sa bata bisan sa pagkaonan sa mall, paihion sa garbage can ang bata. Pero naghinay2x na noon ug kausab ang mga bag ong tubo.

I second this. They rarely give tips in restaurants, even yell at waiters for some minor delays. They write names/ vandalize on museums. They go ahead in lines during dinner and lunch buffets, thinking they have spent more dollars than most people, thus they can do anything they want.
They are often middle-aged or older tourists who have been deprived of or received little education during China's politically tumultuous times. Their knowledge of the destination country and its culture is often outdated or non-existent.
