Think Beijing likes this? Here is a huge candlelight vigil being held in Hong Kong, to recall Tiananman Square's 12'th anniversary. Signs said "Educate the next generation, pass along the baton of democracy."

This is good to see....Though i question how long it will last.
I had friends in Hong Kong who left soon after teh takeover, and many more have left since, slowly BEjing is tightening its grip on the city, don't expect to se this in a few years time.

But just how far will the Mother Land really go? After all, this is China's chance to prove for once that they know what the hell they're talking about. They want communism and capitalism to coexist peacefully...so why crush their cash cow?
