Could get messy to say the least.
Hong Kong leader asks government to hold talks with pro-democracy protesters calling for him to resign | National Post
HONG KONG — Protestors repeated their warning: Resign by Thursday midnight, or they would storm the barricades and seize this city’s seat of power, the office of Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying.
Unreasonable? Of course. No one expected capitulation from a man as powerful as Mr. Leung. He has an entire city apparatus behind him and more than that, he is backed by China’s central government in Beijing.
But just minutes before midnight, Mr. Leung did offer something. Not a concession, but at least a discussion.
“I will not resign,” he told reporters at his official residence, Government House.
