Well, now, a new form of protest. Borrowing from another act of protest, Hong Kong citizens added the tactic to their program: the Human Chain. Linking arms together, the citizens of the city stretched out a long file, a file that covered 25 miles across the city. This act alone involved hundreds of thousands of locals. This message conveys new meaning to the term "solidarity". The protest organizers have proven to be very adept at making changes, adjustments, and adaptations to their plans and tactics. This does not bode well for a timely resolution to the dispute with the government of Hong Kong and the Communist leadership in Beijing.
President Xi is no doubt making his plans known among his inner circle. Those plans have as yet not been revealed to the world. But the scope of the protests and its duration will cause the mainland Chinese in Beijing to make a move. With the whole world watching, it will necessitate careful action upon the part of the Communists.
We'll see soon enough.
