Hong Kong protesters remain on streets as 'deadline day' arrives
Found on CNN on Sunday, 05 October 2014
Authorities and pro-democracy demonstrators in Hong Kong remain at loggerheads as protests continued into Monday, the day the government has set as a deadline to clear the streets.
Demonstrators are upset with a decision this summer by China's ruling Communist Party to let a committee stacked with Beijing loyalists choose who can run as a candidate for the chief executive role in the 2017 election.
China promised free elections when Hongkong was returned to them, and now they just want to ignore that. Losing your face doesn't seem to be much of a problem anymore these days.
