Hong Kong Protest Continues After Fruitless Talks with Government

About 200 Hong Kong protesters marched to the home of the city’s Beijing-backed leader on Wednesday to push their case for greater democracy a day after talks between student leaders and senior officials failed to break the deadlock.

Others continued to occupy main streets in the Chinese-controlled city, where they have camped for nearly a month in protest against a central government plan that would give Hong Kong people the chance to vote for their own leader in 2017 but tightly restrict the candidates to Beijing loyalists.

A wide chasm separates the protesters and the government, which has labelled their actions illegal and repeatedly said their demand for open nominations is impossible under the laws of the former British colony.

“I’m here hoping the government will listen. If they don’t listen we will come out again and again to fight for our basic, grassroots nomination right,” said protester Wing Chan, who took part in the march.

Expectations had been low for a breakthrough in Tuesday’s cordial, televised talks which pitted five of the city’s most senior officials against five tenacious but poised student leaders wearing black T-shirts.

Protesters were unhappy about what they felt was a lack of substantive concessions. Andy Lau, a 19-year-old college student, said now was the time to step things up.

“I think it is time to seriously consider escalating the movement, such as expanding our occupation to many more places to pressure the government to really face and answer our demands,” he said.

Demonstrators marching to the home the city’s leader, Leung Chun-ying, repeated calls for him to step down. Many were angry at remarks he made this week that more representative democracy was unacceptable in part because it would result in poorer people having more say in politics.

  27. Small-sized bathrooms may instantly conjure images of cramped floor spaces, messy
    scenes of
    toiletries and bathroom essentials spread here and there,
    poor ventilation, lack of natural light, and
    so on. In many cases, such images are myths because compact bathrooms
    are not necessarily
    challenging. All you need is a professional expert for bathroom remodelling in Gurgaon who can
    transform your ideas into real-life scenarios.

    Tips to Add Style & Functionality to Your Small
    Bathroom
     Planned Remodelling is Crucial
    The first tip for bathroom designs for small spaces is to start with planning.
    Get a measuring tape to
    measure the space and get an idea of the layout.

    Prioritize what you want – do you need to increase
    the storage space, install more lights for increased lighting, or add modern aesthetics to the space?

    With a clear and precise plan, there are fewer chances of confusion and discrepancies
    arising later.
