The first ‘June 4’ since the ‘birth’ of the Umbrella Movement sees a wide range of commemorative vigils being held across Hong Kong. Their is increased awareness among HongKongers of the need for accountable government locally. That the Chief Executive CY Leung is more interested in pleasing those in Beijing than the people he was ‘elected’ to represent.
HongKongers still believe that they should be advocating the development of democracy on the Chinese mainland, the mantra of the June 4 vigil in Victoria Park. What has changed since last year is the awareness of the suffocation of Hong Kong by Beijing, the lack of accountability of government officials, rampant nepotism, the death of one country-two system and the stealthy transformation of Hong Kong from the city they love and are proud to call home to ‘just another Chinese city’.
