Hundreds of pro-democracy protesters faced off with Hong Kong police late Sunday, stepping up their movement for genuine democratic reforms after being camped out on the city’s streets for more than two months.

The British never gave Hong Kong democracy when it was a colony so why are the students of the Umbrella Movement complaining that the Chinese Communist Party hasn’t!

Chinese Communist Party chief Xi Jinping called Hong Kong’s democracy protests illegal, and cautioned foreign governments from “interfering,” while calling for the maintenance of public safety.

Hong Kong’s old school democracy activists have been surprised by the energy, scale, and longevity of the student-led umbrella movement—and have tried to figure out its implications for their own roles.

The de facto leadership, or what passes for it, of the occupy movement here withdrew plans to hold a ballot on the future of the movement on Sunday, the groups’ leaders saying that they had not consulted protesters widely enough, bowing in apology for the flap at a press conference.

On the same day that pro-democracy protesters suffered the worst setback of their movement, they fought back by storming a crucial tunnel.

A student protest leader on Friday called for Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping to extend his anti-corruption campaign into this semi-autonomous city and purge its widely loathed chief executive, Leung Chun-ying.

The mysterious leak of information about a secret deal made by Hong Kong chief executive Leung Chun-ying may have been arranged by Beijing authorities.
