DAVID FEITH: Hong Kong At The Barricades: “Speaking to Bloomberg News this weekend, senior official Regina Ip, a longtime antagonist of Hong Kong’s democrats, suggested that their movement is too decentralized to have an effective voice: ‘There are tens of thousands of them—who am I supposed to talk to?’ Ms. Ip has a point about the difficulty of turning popular protest into real political power. But her comment also revealed, perhaps inadvertently, something more important: Many tens of thousands of Hong Kongers have now risked arrest and violence to demand democratic self-government. That’s a surprise to everyone—and a historic challenge to the strongest authoritarian government in the world.”
