The Hong Kong Shenzen Political Song And Dance Could Benefit The World

Beijing should accept the five demands of the Hong Kong protests. It has no choice. That is what one country, two systems means. At the same time Beijing should get on with its political experiment in Shenzen. The idea is that it is possible to create an "orderly political participation" of ordinary people in the political process without ditching one party rule.

What does that mean? Does that mean voting? Whatever it means, it is unfolding.

These two cities could be like a live experiment for the whole world to watch.

I don't think America has a political system that every other country needs to copy. And if copy, why not start with England? Let's abolish the monarchy. The Brits have a quickie one month long election. Let's spread that over an entire year. Let's elect a president in England. Let's write a proper constitution.

You see where I am going?

I believe every country will tread a unique political path. And I can't think of a better place than the Hong Kong Bay Area for a live political experiment on as to what might be the best possible political system.

The whole world is watching.

Stuck in traffic for four hours, trying to get to CU. All cars in routes around me trying to do the same thing, to provide support to the students.

This is Hong Kong, my friends. :)#StandWithHongKong pic.twitter.com/U6KBraaEJy

"You don’t need anybody else’s permission to be who you are and to take on what you choose to take on.

Enough of that.

'Mother, may I?' is over."

"The danger is the west is embracing a comforting illusion — that democratic India will act as an ideological bulwark against China. The reality is that India’s slide into illiberalism may actually strengthen the global trend towards authoritarianism." https://t.co/lAMRm4rPE1
