      Hong Kong is holding district elections. The people who get elected to district councils don't wield a lot of power, and true universal suffrage is a key demand of the protests. (Lam was chosen by only 1200 people). However, given a chance, Hongkongers are showing up and voting.https://twitter.com/lokmantsui/status/1198388106359119872 …

      Yep! I mean Carrie Lam was voted on by only 1200 people... If I wanted to summarize these protests, I would say that Hong Kong wants to choose its own government—something so basic, but still a demand in the 21st century.https://twitter.com/equilleeyw/status/1198398273045901312 …

      Correction: Lam was chosen by 777 people in a 1200-member committee hence her nickname “777”.

          zeynep tufekci Retweeted Eric Cheung

          Early election results show a “tsunami” for the pro-democracy camp in Hong Kong. Remember that these are limited local elections—you’re supposed to run on local issues but many pro-democracy candidates ran on a broad platform of democracy and rule of law.https://twitter.com/ericcheungwc/status/1198670290525605889 …

          This is still early and unofficial, but @StandNewsHK is estimating that 130 seats have gone to the pro-democracy camp, versus 9 seats for the pro-Beijing parties. pic.twitter.com/nPCVLQbnKV

          We didnt demand it in Brit-HK before 1997. Becoz every British Governor teamed up w/ #HongKongers elites - gave us a gov that listen to ppl and rule FOR THE PEOPLE of #HongKong. Many Brit Governors did FANTASTIC policy for HKers.

          Now we got a CCP puppet gov that can't wait to sell out #HongKong to Communist #China and genocide of HKers, so they can replace HKers to Communist Chinese in HK and eliminate the original #HongKong.
