The current pro-democracy protest has been discussed thoroughly here in Larry Diamond's column.
I clearly support the protesters against C.Y. Leung's government, which is factually a branch of Beijing government, not a highly self-governance as expected. The reason of my position is simple: I do not trust China Communist Party, which is the agent of tyranny, dictator and disaster. China Communist Party makes the whole Mainland China the biggest prison around the world, now it wants include Hong Kong as part of the prison, how can I support the Beijing government?
As for the possible solution of the protest in Hong Kong, I agree Larry Diamond in here:
China’s rulers are now stuck in a trap of their own making. If they brutally repress mass demonstrations, as they did a quarter century ago, they will gravely damage their international legitimacy, wreck prospects for closer relations with Taiwan, and destroy the civic fabric of Hong Kong. If they do what they should have done months ago — negotiate — they fear they will look to be capitulating to mass pressure, thereby inviting more of it in a country where hundreds of local-level protests erupt daily. Thus they will probably wait, hoping the protests will ebb, while preserving the option of dumping the current Chief Executive, C.Y. Leung, as a sacrificial lamb.
