Taiwan is a country in nature, but not a country in name.

I disagree with what you talk about HK gov't. Doing a bad job does not mean the gov't does not care about HK. Rather, the gov't cares TOO MUCH about HK that it interrupts every aspect of HK.

Mr.Tung tries to take away freedom is halfly correct. I think he is trying to satisfy the Beijing gov't, without knowing what Beijing gov't really wants. Beijing govt wants him to keep HK the way it was, but a dictatorship govt can't tell Mr.Tung to allow more freedom, or else it is slapping itself.

I also disagree with your idea of "election = freedom". Without an election, HK people can still talk whatever they want and write whatever they like. However, the #23 would diminish the freedom more than a private "election". This explains why HK people concern so much about #23 but not as much about an open election.
