HK students becoming others' paw

Hong Kong students are becoming a paw of the "Occupy Central" forces that want to stall China's progress without realizing it. But in the end, it will be the students who may have to pay a high price if anything goes wrong. The protesting students believe they are fighting for a "just" cause. And who in this world can say fighting for "democracy" is not a just cause?

But how many evils have been committed in this world in the name of "democracy"?

About 1 million innocent Iraqis have been killed as collateral damage of democracy. Libya has been destroyed, and hundreds and thousands of innocent and not-so-innocent Libyans have been sacrificed in the name of "democracy".

In the eyes of the dominant groups in the West, everything and everybody else is disposable for the sake of "democracy".

The question the students in Hong Kong Special Administration Region and elsewhere need to ask is: Do these people really care about democracy if they are pushing for their kind of "democracy" at the expense of other people's lives? The students apparently do not know that the people who support them have ulterior motives, with an agenda very different from theirs. Some want to disrupt Hong Kong's progress to block the country's progress. The "Occupy Central" forces are providing the students money more because the students' actions serve their own political objectives in Hong Kong.

Students in Hong Kong and elsewhere should not forget British Prime Minister David Cameron's reaction to protesters in his own country. Cameron said he would not be restrained by the concept of phony human rights and would use violence against the "thugs and criminals" who were demonstrating in London. This same prime minister has always supported demonstrations and protests in developing countries. But when his own country's people took to the streets in protest, he called them "thugs and criminals". What's more, instead of exercising restraint, as he always advises leaders of developing countries to do, he said he would not hesitate to use violence to deal with his own people.
