This article expresses concerns about the political tensions going on in Hong Kong with the new election of Mr. Leung. I have learned another strange way of protesting in a country besides our own posters and yelling protests in America. They throw plastic disks as a sign of their disapproval. Interesting method. Hopefully the political problems about Hongkong being a democracy will be solved. There were promised one man one vote in 2007 and now don't think this will come to pass till 2017, about ten years. Also the people don't know if they can trust Mr. Leung to keep the same "one country, two systems" custom going.

Very interesting article. I think it would be frustrating to be a citizen of Hong Kong just because of their history. Even while under the rule of Great Britain they were denied true democratic rights, though it seems that most citizens want a democratic system.
