Hong Kong – Bothering Beijing

Beijing's decision to vet candidates for Hong Kong's 2017 elections through a nomination committee demonstrates their reluctance to allow full democracy for the Special Administrative Region. In response, peaceful protests have been held since the National People's Congress Standing Committee's decision on vetting candidates was passed in August. The latest in the series, which involved 14,000 university students, ends today but the Occupy Central movement is expected to begin its protests on the 1st of October.
