Long interview (8 min) by Anson Chan, but worth listening to the entire interview. Ms. Chan beautifully and succinctly expresses why the demonstrations are so important, how they are landing in Beijing, and why the aims of the demonstrations matter so much for the future of Hong Kong and have struck such a chord with the citizens of Hong Kong.

It is not going to be so easy for Beijing to quell the desires of a large portion of the citizens of Hong Kong just by simply quelling the physical demonstrators.
