#2 A flotilla of Chinese warships sailed slowly down the length of Victoria Harbor today in a rare show of force that comes as democracy advocates here say they face growing intimidation by Beijing.

Well, folks, Bejing promised Hong Kong some automomy, having a great existing economic engine and all. Now they feel that the mainland is catching up and, being the control freaks they are, the Chicoms are now tightening the screws. Anybody watching this from the beginning and believing ChiCom promises is delusional.
