Eventually, Beijing has to give in. They've been trying to screw up Hong Kong with doing something involving banning cantonese, electing a puppet leader instead of an actual leader, not allowing council members to not speak when allowed to (tong tong), the attempts at a Mainland education, and now not allowing a democratic election. Goddamn it.

That footage was from a few days ago - the violence is what prompted Anonymous to start. One of the worst cases was where an elderly man was deliberately sprayed with pepper spray right on camera. In actuality, it's quiet now. The groups are spreading and increasing in size, but there's no major action yet. The students threaten to stay unless the CE resigns by the end of today, otherwise they will continue to occupy buildings.

Mind if ask what this is all over, from what I heard it has something to do with China and not wanting to be taken in by them(I assuming not by choice).

I know these guys feel that their identities are safe, but I'm positive if one of them is discovered. the Chinese gov will not hesitate to send some not so nice guys to come visit them to make an explain.

It goes back to when HK was an English protectorate and the terms of England returning control to China. It was supposed to be a "one country, two systems" government where HK was basically autonomous and continued to keep the democracy that was the form of rule under England. Since China has gained control over HK they have been eroding the democratic freedoms and influencing the free elections. The protests started when China announced that they would vet the candidates for election in Hong Kong. Basically China will only approve candidates that will do what Beijing tells them to and the residents of Hong Kong have decided that they will not accept that.

TwinCharged has a better explanation of it in some of his earlier updates that you should be able to find.

It's complicated.

The very basis of this begins when Hong Kong was handed back to China back in 1997 - when that occurred, Hong Kong was permitted 50 years of freedom. That's why it's difficult to classify Hong Kong as a country because although it has already been ceded back to China, it still maintains a different system of government with the majority of the public holding a very different political and social stance as compared to mainland China. At the most basic level, Hong Kong is a big city right on the edge of China.

This deal with the 50 years of freedom means that HK is known as a Special Administrative Region (SAR) - thereby making China unique with "one country, two systems" - the Chinese government being one system, the HK government being another. The head of the HK government, the CE, is not elected by the people, but rather by an Election Committee - the nub of the issue lies in the fact that he is regarded as China's puppet. Through him, China can influence policy decisions made in Hong Kong, as well as being capable of replacing him with someone else they can manipulate (harsh word that, since I'm trying to be objective) come the end of the current CE's term.

This Pro-Democracy Movement lies in the understanding that people do not want China to have any influence in the way in which HK's government is run and are thus demanding that universal suffrage be established as form of government in Hong Kong, where the people are able to elect the people they want as the head of state.
