1. I'm surprised it took so long. The Chinese Communist government is a mafioso dictatorship.

They use this tactic throughout China. They know that the Hong Kong democracy movement could serve as an example for another uprising in Beijing like the Tienanmen Square protests. That's why China uses concentration camps for ethnic minorities / dissidents and brainwashing camps their children.

China needs to go the way of the USSR, dissolved into pieces.

2. Give Hong Kong independence.

At least self-rule.
