Out of the 60 seats on offer, the people of Hong Kong voted 34 seats for Pro-China and 25 for Pro-Democracy.

This shows that despites complaints and protests, most people are happy with the Pro-China party.

And happy people don't go on the streets complaining or tell the world about human rights abuses.

I don't however like the fact that the rest of the council seats are decided by special interest groups, such as large corporations that ineviatblally favor people in power.

Nevertheless it shows that democracy is less popular than you think. I think chinese people prefer a sensible government that knows what it is doing.
