Hong Kong, a former British colony is undergoing a governance crisis as its people are urging the government to revise the framework according to which the next Chief Executive will be elected. With activists organizing a civil disobedience movement called “Occupy Central” and university student boycotting classes, these people hope to negotiate with the government on implementing a universal suffrage in compliance with international standards.

A quick glance at the internet revealed the startling fact that the public opinion is now divided into two extremes: one expressed the absolute disapproval of the 1200-member nominating committee for screening off candidates, while the other emphasized that it is a take-it-or-leave-it deal offered by the Chinese government.
