Already a few days in Hong Kong to happen "act of civil disobedience". A mass rally moved to sit in the Central area of the metropolis. Tens of thousands of students took to the streets demanding democratic elections in 2017, when the term of the current head of the administration of Hong Kong Lian Janina. The peaceful rally was hardly in clashes with the police have been affected by about 60 people, more detained by law enforcement officers. The script of "peaceful protest" sounds suspiciously like "velvet" revolution in the post-Soviet space. And the analogy with the events in Tiananmen square in 1989 asking themselves. At this time, in another troubled region of China attacks, but the American aircraft loitering along the Chinese border. Is this a coincidence, or someone shatters the internal situation in the Russian ally? Details - material Накануне.RU.

Information about the fact that a large number of Hong Kong students took to the streets to demonstrate against the limit on the number of candidates for the election of the Hong Kong appeared on September 22. It was reported that this action takes place within a week of civil disobedience", in which residents of the special administrative region of Hong Kong advocating free elections.

Since 1997, when Britain returned Hong Kong to China, this metropolis has the status of special administrative region. In fact, China provides its sovereignty and armed protection, the political system there "is cooked in its own juice". Features that are in power of the British crown was carried out by appointed London Governor, does the chief Secretary for administration of Hong Kong. It shall elect the Committee for the election of the chief Secretary for administration of Hong Kong, consisting of 800 people, which represent Hong Kong's business elite. 

However, very often the Beijing accused of excessive impact on the management of the metropolis. For the full introduction of direct elections and serve students. The first sit-in was held near the Chinese University. The demonstrators accused the PRC that it does not keep its promises. Previously, Beijing had announced that direct elections in Hong Kong will be held in 2017. In August, the Chinese government announced that elections will be admitted only a few candidates, selected by a special Committee. In fact, such a system operates across China.

On Friday, the protest of the students supported thousands of students who chose to participate in the rally, than to go to class.

On weekends peaceful protest Hong Kong "HireDate" abruptly became radicalized. The tone here asked "Occupy Central" - a local clone of the American "Occupy Wall street", led by one of the University professors. "Occupati was going to block the business center of Hong Kong on 1 October, but, taking advantage of the situation, started to operate on September 27. The demonstrators marched in the business district of the city, where he tried to block the work of the Admiralty, and later attempted to enter the residence of the chief Minister. Of course, these attempts have met stiff resistance from the police, who used batons, water cannons and tear gas to disperse the enraged students. Instead of the requirements of the election rhetoric of the protesters changed to "Down with the Communist party! Down With Liang Janina". And at the government building gathered many thousands of the crowd.

On Tuesday, there were at least 56 wounded, the stock exchange of Hong Kong - one of the largest financial centers of the world is suffering serious losses, and these events are yet to be seen. Demonstrators built barricades, buy food and water, police trying to keep the situation under control. It is reported that the city has virtually no public transport is closed many stores, banks is difficult, the Central area of the city is actually blocked. Interestingly, the situation immediately commented on in the British Foreign Ministry. On the website of the foreign office there was a special message, which says that the British foreign office is monitoring the situation in Hong Kong and is reminiscent of the Chinese government on the right to demonstrate for all democratic States.

I can remember exactly the same words in the entire Western world almost a year ago, when he encouraged the depredations on the Maidan. However, those same diplomats was silent for some reason during the armed suppression of protests in American Ferguson, acceleration and prosecution of participants in the million anti-government rally in Paris, not to mention the civil war, which unleashed a protege of Washington Petro Poroshenko in response to rallies in defense of the rights of Russian-speaking population of the South-East.

Probably "pure coincidence" was manifested in the fact that simultaneously with the events in Hong Kong, last week saw a series of attacks that have killed dozens of people in another unstable region of China - Sinzan-Uighur Autonomous region. There events associated with the judgment of the Professor, calling for the overthrow of the Chinese government and compared them with the Japanese occupiers.

You should pay attention to the fact that collision in Hong Kong occurred the day after the General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee XI Jinping met with the joint delegation of Taiwanese organizations for the peaceful reunification of the country. Later, the President of Taiwan MA Ying-jeou said: "We fully sympathize with and supported by Hong Kong residents in their demands for universal suffrage".

On the evening of September 28, the PRC government began to block the function of adding photos and updating tape in Instagram, and in mainland China.

Many users of Facebook are changing their profile pictures to an image of yellow ribbons and yellow umbrella - in support of the protest movement. Supporters of the police post blue ribbons. Hong Kong Maidan - the first analogy that comes to mind, but here it is appropriate to recall the events in Tiananmen square in 1989, when volitional steps managed to keep the situation from more victims and to prevent the collapse of the state, what all went on. In another way it all happened in the USSR when the coup d'etat perpetrated Yeltsin, dragging the country into chaos "shocking therapy", from which Russia still has not recovered, and the millions of people in the end, "does not fit into the market - the population is rapidly beginning to die out.

As far as can be judged, the time for the position of political "neutrality", which loves to take China ended, and the time has come to decide whether he will be able to engage in open confrontation with the demiurges maganoo script in Hong Kong.

His opinion on the situation Накануне.RU shared political and military journalist Alexander Zhilin:

- I estimate a mass rally in Hong Kong, as an attempt to destabilize the situation in China is not at the level of what is happening in Ukraine, and as a method of intimidation and pressure on territory in the fight for anti-Russian influence. What have said many times Obama and publicly, and in their confidential conversations with Chinese leaders, bowing to his anti-Russian course, we now observe. This is blackmail. It is well-known methods - the efforts of the intelligence agencies and agents of influence in the place. In fact, if we draw an analogy with Ukraine, Georgia and other "colored revolutions", it is at the level of information-terrorist operations. Before being carefully studied mood, accumulated protest actions, then goes mathematical layout that input should be and that you can get to the exit. There is no spontaneity, it all managed processes.

We must understand that none of the "color revolution" cannot happen without support from the outside. It is an axiom. This requires financial support, advice counselors to destabilize the situation. Typically, this is done by people who on the eve of otkommentirovatsya in the Embassy, where the control centers. Any "color revolution" begins with chaos. Americans are very clear, I say this with great regret, has mastered a method of influence, manipulation of sentiment through the controlled chaos that we see now in Ukraine. And modern technology is now widely used to create the General hysteria.

Another thing is that China is not Ukraine. China understands the difference between big and little blood. It is their theory: when does the confusion, they believe that it is better to shed the "little" blood will flow "large". If you do not hold the situation, then one and a half billion people, entering into confrontation "all against all", can fill with blood all over the planet.

I think that the response of China to the United States will be very hard. This will not be the statement "a La Gorbachev, and will be more effective methods associated with the release of the us dollar on the market that can destroy it, and other economic measures. The United States will be difficult to maintain the economy at least in the form in which it exists. Any attempts Washington against Beijing - catastrophic error.

Will China change its position and actions in the international arena? China, of course, adheres to neutrality and independence. I think the state has enough power to this independence to provide. I am confident that China will continue to maintain their position. In fact, we don't see them comprehensive diplomatic support of Russia. But it is enough for us and his unequivocal silence or voting against the initiatives of the Western countries. China tries never gets involved in the struggle between the two centers of resistance. According to their theory, the energy in this fight spills over to the third, that is to China.
