The protesters aren't backing down, China isn't giving in, and the world isn't looking away.
Pro-democracy demonstrations continued in Hong Kong's streets for a sixth day on
Wednesday over anger at China's refusal to allow the open selection of
candidates for Hong Kong's leader in the city's first democratic
election, scheduled for 2017. Hong Kong is a semi-autonomous city that
is officially ruled by China.
The Chinese government is fighting
social media's power of connectedness to keep mainland China in the
dark, while Hong Kong protesters are harnessing it to ensure the world
hears them.
