Hong Kong wants to ditch the joker

[AsahinaKimi]

HONG KONG - This is Asia's Gotham City. And the people of Gotham have had enough. They want real democracy, one person, one vote. As for the current CEO of Gotham, Leung Chun-ying, aka C Y Leung, aka The Joker, he is no more than, well, a joke.

One of the great democracy-in-action performances across Asia is the annual ritual of Hong Kong celebrating the July 1, 1997, handover to China by the United Kingdom. This year was no different; arguably 400,000 people marched across Central, the



city's business center, to make their point, defying absolutely foul weather caused by an approaching typhoon.

Banners covered a vast spectrum - from generic calls for freedom to "Say No to China" and appeals for the release of Chinese dissidents such as 2010 Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo.

2. That's funny, "say no to China."

It is the equivalent to a protester in LA with a sign saying "say no to USA." Not saying I disagree with the sentiment of either...
