Jasmine Revolution In Hongkong?
A tiny protest with big hope. A handful of activists out-number at least ten to one by police turning up in supporting China Jasmine movement. It was an even smaller turnout than the week before, then the confrontation with the police angrier with the protester vowing to continue indefinitely despite their number.
LEUNG KWOK-HUNG - LEAGUE OF SOCIAL DEMOCRATS:
We will come here very Sunday in support of Jasmine movement in China. Actually we are all prepared to be arrested.
ROB MCBRIDE:
In mainland China with the opening of the National People Congress and the leadership is vowing to maintain stability at all costs, activists there facing almost impossible task to organize any meaningful protest . A heavy security clamp down in the streets and in cyberspace will seek to that.
Allowed to protest here in Hong Kong, activists in this well-connected city are also free to use as many online tools as their fingers would allow in that continuing campaign.

There are basically two types of news: activists have been detained and also date and time has been used for Jasmine revolution gathering
ROB MCBRIDE:
An Online Community is quietely hacking away the system
ERIC LAI - ACTIVIST
There are a lot of restrictions in China and there are also a lot of hackers in China and therefore they are smart and ...they know how to get information ...beyond the state control
Activists here say their campaign is different from the Middle East, insisting their long slow approach that would eventually take hold. With that, this protest ended for another week. The number was so small sometimes hard to see the movement at all.

China warns Hong Kong media over 'Jasmine Revolution' reports
By Kim Young-gyo
HONG KONG, March 2 (Yonhap) -- China has warned Hong Kong's media against reporting on pro-democracy movements on the mainland, saying they will deteriorate the relationship between Beijing and this special administrative region, a local broadcaster said Wednesday.
"Hong Kong media are free to cover the mainland as long as they are in compliance with the country's 'basic law,' but if their attitudes are inclined to overthrow the regime, no country will accept that," Hao Tiechuan, director general of publicity at the Liaison Office of the Chinese government in Hong Kong, said in an interview with Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK).
