Seeing how Hu and Wen have been trying to project a new image of the PRC to the world,

there is a SLIM., and I mean, slim chance that they may amend Article 23 and re-present it in a more acceptable form to the people of HK

More wishful thinking, on our part ?

No, that's not your wishful thinking. Actually Tung had striked out the 3 most controversial clauses in the bill, but the people are not satisfied and want the bill to be reintroduced in White Draft for further public consultation. Meanwhile, Beijing has publicly announced that they have no timetable for the bill and its content.
