It has been an interesting time for Hong Kong the past month, what with the July 1 march for universal suffrage preceded by an unexpected guest – whistleblower Edward Snowden choosing Hong Kong as the location to disclose his identity as the source of the leak in US surveillance secrets. These events form the context of this article, to reflect on recent protests, reverberating from those in Hong Kong.
