Hong Kong Umbrella Revolution [Update]

After steady weeks of protests, Chief Executive of Hong Kong Leung Chun-yin states that he is “prepared to focus on the issue”  ( The demands from student protesters of his resignation and the right to openly elect a new Chief Executive). The protesters however view the executive’s claims this with a skepticism that should’ve been expected by all involved and following this event.

After China’s government  refused to listen to the pro-democrat’s demands, and the rumored beating of a protester by 7 Hong Kong Police officers, the pro-democrats are relentless to “speak” with Executive Leung as they are all aware such an affair would prove to be one sided.
