One ancient Chinese proverb said, "leave your enemy one road to retreat, that's only human".

A classical example of how people who mean to be good give evil a chance.

[The Pheonix]

Goodness begets goodness and evil begets evil

or as the bible says " Evil to him that thinks evils"

Don't worry, this is CHINA -2003, and the key-word is PRAGMATISM. The Hardcore-Communist leaders have all gone to meet Marx. So, Tienanmen is very unlikely. The new generation is all pragmatism.

The WW2 slogan said, "Chinese must not kill Chinese"

Can't see how the brave people of Hong Kong (no matter ho courageous) can do a "hungarian uprising". 6 million against the might of the PLA

It's better to have a mature and intelligent dialoque with the new Pres and PM

Yes, we are ready to give Beijing a choice. Give us popular election in 2007 and we will let Tung stay (to save Beijing's face). You know who important face is to the ChiComs.

ken5050: We are not worry about a crackdown. All demonstration are non violent and peaceful. No anti-Beijing or anti-Communist slogans. What we want is our democracy and what we're after is Mr. Tung's butt. Beijing has no excuse to use force when we are only practicing our civil right.
