Everyone is a sacrifice of ideology, it's easy to merge into one ideology then see the surface and judge the other, but if you look from the outside of ideologies, things could be much complicated than it seems to be.
I am Chinese people in Shanghai, and not happy about the status of democracy/free speech/privacy either. But I feel like things are improving, by the progress of economical development, but this is not my point, just feel some observations of the current China is biased.
My point is, The protest in HK is trying to stimulate Beijing to make an action, which will be a disaster for all people, except the politicians from the western world would love to see it, and some protester love to see it because that will prove China is evil.
The reason Beijing must take action is because the building is too tall to fall, just like US must send troops to Iraq, the ideology must prove itself is righteous.
