Patten: The HK government must listen to its people

Project Syndicate, 3-Oct-2014

Our take on this: Patten is calling for a new round of consultation and report to Beijing, not one that merely narrows down the "counterfeit start" delivered by the NPC Standing Committee. He says: "The Hong Kong authorities have gravely miscalculated the views of their citizens.

They must think again.
