The success of protest against extradition treaty to China, have emboldened the Hongkongers. They are not contend with initial success, they are asking for more, for the resignation of lady Lamrin, and just showing sheer frustration and anger at Bejinng. It will be hard for Hongkong authorities to concede any thing more.
The sheer number of protesters, and the spotlight of the international media put the authorities in a difficult position for fear of backlash against any stringent measure. The British authorities support for Hongkong people are inspirational. They have shown some spin by calling out China to be accountable and keep their words in promises China made to it takes over the territory. The revolutionary protest in Hongkong is reverberating the Tienanmen protest for democracy in 1989. The western world's like US should speak out more forcefully to defend Hongkong people rights.
