        Good luck. They should be glad they are still included in the movement by the people. They are nothing more than traitors: 👉Claudia, Fernando, yiu-Chun - Obstruct Legco entrance 👉Fernando- Revive ELAB 👉Alvin- Obstruct asylum seeking in Taiwan, Revive ELAB

        Forget it, Hong Kong people don’t need telling what to do. Everything is done out of freewill and free-thinking. The answers are already in our hearts and we do according to our values, moral standards and common sense.

        The government can definitely do a lot more than the pan-democrats...

        I think you have overestimated the influence of these pan-Dems in the hearts of these young protesters. They would point to the lack of democratic progress under the Pan-Dems’ watch over the last 20 years. Offering them a universal suffrage timetable tomorrow will bring a stop.

        One needs to remember that their representatives in LEGCO were robbed of their seats in 2015. This is payback time for Carrie Lam. She has been ignoring the timetable of universal suffrage under her watch. Don’t let the housing issues to distract the current mistrust of the Gov’t

        Whilst I agree with the points you made I think even if they did carry out those 4 points they would just be ignored at this time. The protestors seem intent on not stopping until the bill has been removed and the protest reclassified as not a riot.

        And the only way to end protests? The HKSARG answers to the people’s demand of complete withdrawal of the controversial extradition bill!

        It is time for HK to retreat from a financial center status. HK is better off becoming a tier two city with lower land value, which is easier for the locals. Shanghai and Shenzhen are ready to take over and bring China to the next level

        Sacking #CarrieLam is the most effective way, Beijing can stop the protests.
