    SHAME-FREE thread: ask the dumbest question you have about the Hong Kong protests. I'll try to answer it or loop in a real Hong Konger to answer it for you. No question too ignorant or basic.

        This was supposed to be a dumb question thread and instead they are all excellent, and HK experts are weighing in on them. Sad to see what has become of Twitter.

        It would seem that even a small amount of police oversight and accountability would go a long way toward keeping the middle class on the government side. Why has there been zero movement in that direction. Does the government think it doesn't need people's support?

        How much do you feel geography of the city is playing a role in the success of the protests.

        I have a whole blog post on that in the works! I think high density is extremely important at sustaining the protests now that transport is being shut down, and the way public spaces work in Hong Kong (many are privately owned malls) is idiosyncratic and very significant.

        Which international financial actors are betting on the demise of the protest?

        That's outside my expertise so I will summon @Birdyword from his mountain fortress of solitude to answer. Singapore stands to benefit from whatever HK loses, so that would be my gun-to-head answer.

        What is the mainland China side of this story? Ie if I’m a generic person opposed to the HK protestors what is my best argument?

        Replying to @HoboStew

        The most popular mainland argument is that HK protesters are calling for independence and that is unacceptable; China is indivisible. If you want to be accurate (since they're not separatists), that it's a self-destructive cycle of violence by a small group of extremists

        Are Hong Kong’s minority groups getting in on the act? I saw video of a white/British Hong Konger standing up to police the other day and it caught me off guard.

        Yes and no! Two big minority groups in Hong Kong are the 380K domestic workers, almost all Filipina and Indonesian women, who have been left on the periphery of protest. I'd love to see a march specifically in support of them. But I've seen a lot of South Asians in the protests
