China Finally Speaks On Hong Kong Protest: "Opposes Illegal, Destabilizing Activities"
With the biggest Hong Kong protest in recent history taking place over the weekend, and continuing indefinitely because one thing is certain: the local student demands for more democracy and the ouster of HK chief executive CY Leung will not be met, what everyone has focused on is what China's response, call it crackdown, to the breakout of violence will be. After all, while algos and the Fed's liquidity tsunami have priced in pretty much everything short of (or including, according to some) World War III, a repeat of Tiananmen square could well be large enough to where it registers as a slight downtick in the Fed's balance sheet, pardon the S&P 500.
Hong Kong Chief Executive CY Leung
So for all those eager to track the progression of China's responses to the protests, here is the first official statement via CRIEnglish:
China's central government is describing the so-called Occupy Central movement in Hong Kong as an "illegal gathering."
At the same time, mainland authorities say they're confident authorities in Hong Kong are able to handle it.
The Occupy group in Hong Kong is opposed to the new plans for universal suffrage in the city.
Hong Kong Chief Executive CY Leung says the Hong Kong government considers the Occupy movement illegal.
At the same time, Leung says his government plans to continue moving forward with the consultation process.
"And in so far as consultations and the question of constitutional development is concerned, it is also important to bear in mind that we have to operate within the framework of the stipulations of the Basic Law and the National People's Congress Standing Committee's decisions because these are the legal and constitutional frameworks for Hong Kong's constitutional developments to go forward in."
Protests this weekend in Hong Kong turned ugly, with police being forced to use tear-gas to disperse demonstrators who were trying to push through police lines.
For now China is merely escalating the verbal rhetoric, and is hoping that the student will get bored and go home. Which they won't. So what happens then? Well, the following post should provide some insight...

Quick! Blame the Japanese!
what happened to the formula two systems one country ... or whatever they got there?
china itself is prospering i guess the hongkongese better get online with the program
EDIT: I wondered how the market will react???
p.s. did those bozos in Wall street finally got it who is the target of the scheme? look around the room stupido, no more regular middle class to screw up, it is your turn ... dahhhh
At least, unlike in Democratic Singapore, demonstrations are still, as of now, permitted in Hong Kong. My guess is that, within the next 20 years, China/HK/Macau will finish up just like Singapore. One party state, Government controlled media and no freedom of expression/speech/freedom of association. Everything OK but don't even think about challenging the Government.
In fact, that is sounding quite familiar coming in from both the Left and the Right sides of the spectrum all around the world? But the end result is the same...
yes.
China's central government is describing the so-called Occupy Central movement in Hong Kong as an "illegal gathering."
If you don't get a "permit", then you can't protest. And if we don't want you protesting, and we know you can't afford lawyers, well then guess what?
"Driving is a right, not a privilege" they say. Need a government-issued license to earn a living in many professions. Need a government-issued license to get married. Anything you want to do which involves resisting your own ongoing financial rape by the system, or trying to be free and live without interference, is "illegal".
You exist at the pleasure of those who pillage you, at least they want you to believe it is so. The fact is, they rely on us totally but have us convinced otherwise.
Moreover, Hong Kong and the people therein always seem to be under a boot becuase of the strategic location for trade etc.
The British boot is gone, say hello to the Chinese boot...
same as it ever was...
Being under the boot of the British was considerably lighter than being under the boot of the Communist Party thugs.
The obvious solution: hire former New York police commissioner Ray Kelly to send goon squads in to arrest the demonstrators and molest any women in the vicinity. The Bloomberg Method, as approved by Goldman Sachs.
no need for some kelly ray, plenty of turn coats to send around ....
The obvious solution: the NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio method which is to send the cops into the situation and later blame them for over reacting. Then denounce the cops as being racists and send them off for re-training.

In other words, get back to work peasants....
The Chinese know how to handle social unrest, they invented paper money and have no problem killing their own.
Same as it ever was...
now if this protest becomes "coloured", we sure are in for some fun
this is serious stuff no doubt about it ... just the timing is very important on itself
Keep an eye on the US State Department equivalent of Victoria Nuland for southeast Asia. Obama's "pivot" probably involves CIA/DoD-controlled NGOs looking to gin up a Jade Revolution.
That was my take on this 'spontaneous' protest.
Is the CIA sending China a signal, warning that if China really joins the anti-petro-dollar axis and continues on such a course that it will face massive destabilization from within, instigated by the Empire of Chaos?
Jade Revolution - I like that moniker. It's already WWIII, iddnt it?
perhaps, one can never dismiss the possibility for sure. they most likely have their hands up the asses of a few of the "leaders".
question is is how the collective intelligence will respond to the machinations. despite its historical & modern western influences, there does seem a latent distrust & suspicion of american/european political meddling amongst the younger generation there.
Maybe william banzai can give us a local perspective, he has a lot of pics taken in Hong Kong.
Soros in action
Soros couldn't survive without social disruption. He's in that mix somewhere.

Putin's fault.
The man (I meant asshole) in the picture is on his way out according to sources in China.
In China the average citizens life is equiviant to a dog. The government will have no problem with mowing them down.
A reason why the orders of heavy weapons and ammo in the US is people in this country start thinking for themselves.
DEMOCRACY!
Hey wait, isn't that what them Americans have? Oh $hit, never mind...
Stoopid ute.
I have not seen what the talking heads in U.S/D.C. are saying about this. Are they shaking pom-poms, cheering it on like the Arab Spring?
That seems to be working out soooo fucking well huh?
They might pay lip service to it, but they are owned by the Chinese.
The only thing I understand about a hard line is that it has to be ERASED....
It looks like China needs to enlarge its current Gulag camps so that all those "illegal" protesters can "legally" become Gulag inmates to assemble Apple's shit as Foxconn's free labor force. And suicide is prohibited.
Where is the Great British Empire? British Empire signed the agreement with China with a timeline the HK crowd wants enforced. Who rules is just an academic question; however Rule of Law really matters. The Magna Carta was first step towards equality of men and foundation of liberty. The American Founders understood and gave us a Great Republic with limited democracy that operated under the RULE OF LAW. Liberty would be given to the imperfect people to execute the best they could. They knew the dangers and were worried about the justice branch of government: "Who judges the judges?"
The stupid people governing us and the western world today confuse democracy with liberty. In the process, the Magna Carta is dying.
don't forget, the Magna Carta was signed at the tip of a sword.
when considering how the Rule of Law (TM) was applied in HK during their Holy Reign, the Great Brits should keep their trap shut, lest they stick their gangrene infested foot in their mouth (again).
of course, they probably won't, waiting just long enough to let Beijing stew in embarassment, before exclaiming a proclamation extolling the Virtues of Democracy (TM), which will be the signal for the Politburo to offer some bland reforms as a fig leaf to calm the natives, so that the Global Control Train continues full speed ahead.
what's a bit interesting is the one of the HK livestream channels has the text "google Jury Nullification to save us" plastered on the side of the frame. if enough people get clued in to that already-existing Rule, that might answer the question of "who watches the watchers".
might be worthwhile to follow the trend of the meme if this "protest" continues to gather some steam.
Edit for the article...
So for all those eager to track the progression of China's repression of the protests, here is the first official statement via CRIEnglish:
There...
Fixed that for ya ;-)
Yeah, the street traffic is disturbed, the army whould clear the streets. Normal citizens cannot go to work!!!!
China's Inalienable Rights are for the State.
as always per usual
william banzai 7....?
Hope they don't protest at UCLA. Mostly asian Bruins this year.
University of Caucasians Lost amongst Asians
China sounds like the US government when speaking about their people.
But here the people protest for more communisim ("Free stuff from the government... NOW!!!"). There the people protest for individual freedom. Sort of like what the U.S. used to have.
Bad! BAD!! Now go to your room! Now! Go!
I never thought, that jews can influence the chineese people. And see, the jewis army, say CIA, can do it.
The next step: switch off the mobile phones in HK and censor the internet. See it comming.

Kiev 2.o
China Gov news: masses of young adults demand Iphone 6 now!
Will ObamaPhones do?
Screw him. The Chinese better stand tall or the CCP will kill them like bugs from here on out.
CIA backs protests in these communist countries and when the commies react in their typical dictatorial manner, it puts on display what a bunch of nasty fucking pricks these dictators really are.
You'd figure that these dim witted communists would have figured this process out by now.
Poor bastards that get fingered in these protests - problems for them and their families - it's a pawn's job.
The article states: "...because one thing is certain: the local student demands for more democracy..."
Very sad that the college students in the U.S. are protesting for more communisim. We certainly are a stupid bunch in the U.S.
How's living in mom and dad's basement workoug out for you, college graduate kids?
There isn't such thing like more democracy.
Democracy only has one alternative: no democracy, which but has a lot of shapes. Making wondering whether democracy ever had been established anywhere once.
Prove there is people, from time to time, always have come forward to claim for it.
What's the meaning of democracy in our days.
To have a saying although laking the money for.
Conclusion: as long money rules the world this thing of coming to solutions won't be, democracy.
Ask your landlord.
There is a picture anywhere on my computer that shows that the rows were a lot closer, then, in Egypt when people lately was asking for more democracy.
It's just another CIA operation, just like the one at Tiananmen Square, In Venezuela , and anywhere around the world.
Wonder how many billions Nuland spent here. Who is handing out the CIA made fortune cookies down there.?
if china was really concerned about illegal destabilizing activities they wouldn't let women fly airplanes upside down with big crack up. the real question is woo flung poo?
and if they really want to try their hand at a game of clue, where my wanton and poke baw?
