Wow, the PAP IB is out in full force today.
Not only that, the thread starter is a retard. By his logic, the 2003 July protest where 530,000 Hongkies took to the streets is nothing as the number was only less than 7.6% of the SAR's population of 7 million. Due to different methods of calculation, HK government's estimation of the crowd was 200,000 maximum - less than 2.9% of the population.
Subsequent actions, sanctioned of course by the Central Government in Beijing - many times more powerful than that of a Peesai Island led by a Donkey Loon, LOSER and useless son of an AhLeeBaBa, proves that the Powers that Be in Beijing and HK knows that it is a sign that SIGNIFICANTLY more than 7.6% of the populace is unhappy with their policies.
What are these actions? Shelfing of the implementation of Article 23 (aka Internal Security Act). Resignation of Beijing's preferred Chief Executive, Tung Chee Hwa, supposedly because of a foot injury. Yeah - MY FOOT!
To this day, ten years later, even the almightly Central Government in Beijing, which has in its arsenal enough nuclear bombs to obliterate little Peesai Island many times over, treats any suggestion of implementation of Article 23 with great care - don't want to cause another protest of similar scale.
