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.

Replying to @Pinboard
I saw an interview last night on Youtube where a member of the legislative council, also a member of the People's Congress, said that if Carrie Lam would 'beg' on hands and knees to Beijing, she could help pass the 5 demands. Is that possible?

Replying to @theomorphosis
The dynamic between Lam and Beijing is opaque and hard to read. The consensus seems to be that Beijing has completely vetoed any concessions after the symbolic one of withdrawing the bill.
