        The protest seems to be deep enough so the authorities should reconsider their policies to calm down the situation.

        Stay hoping, stay protesting! and maybe China would be open for a real compromise. Don't forget that China is weak. The regime wants to look like an alternative for the US and a bloodshed in HK wouldn't be helpful.

        When the new school and university semester starts will parents and teachers force the students off the streets and back to studying? Traditional Chinese culture says yes but if it does not happen and protests continue the govt is in real trouble.
