I would say that that's exactly the case. I hate to say that. As I said, I lived there for 30 years; I'm a Hong Konger. It pains me to see this, and it's all unnecessary. China is trying to control protests in Hong Kong. All it had to do was listen to the Hong Kong people.
This is why I have to stress—and maybe I go beyond the question slightly—that's why democracy has been important in Hong Kong. Hong Kong has been badly in need of a government that can represent Hong Kong people and voice their concerns. I think foreign governments should be pushing that line as well.
