Student Protests at the University of Hong Kong

Vice premier Li Keqiang of the State Council of the People's Republic of China visits HKU this morning for the HKU 100 Centenary Ceremony. This results in an extravagant police presence on the university campus and in the surrounding area. Hundreds of police officers are deployed and for what purpose? Not 1,000, not 100, but 10 student protestors outside the KK Leung building voice their displeasure and chant slogans about June 4th and a curious "university spirit." Overall, a waste of police resources, taxpayer dollars and Hong Kong commuters' time and patience. The Communist Party has yet to realize that the HKU students are not like the students of June 4th, 1989; or perhaps the extravagance served only to stroke the VIPs egos.

You are a hypocrite by putting up the video. This stuff happens everywhere in the rest of the world. You are only politicalized in your own view because you don't like mainland leader only.

@lindarden Hi, please be careful about putting words in my mouth. I ask you to review my video one more time to point out when I say I don't like Li Keqiang -- because I don't say that. Unsurprisingly, you flame based on a false assumption.
