This is incredibly brilliant. The Chinese people are so resourceful. They were able to send a message without any violence. Amazing. 

The Chinese leadership should be very proud of it's people. It has let them know they are not happy in an inventive way to bring about awareness.

The leadership in Hong Kong needs to mitigate the unrest by receiving public comment to bring a larger involvement by the people. That is all they are asking for; they want a greater voice in governing their city. They don't want to destroy anything, they want to be a greater part of it. It is magnificent to realize how the people have come to the realization they are competent and reliable to bring about productive change.

China has five year plans. They seem to be working. China should embrace that.

Through tear gas (click here) and the sweltering sun, umbrellas have been an indispensable tool for Occupy Central protesters in the streets -- becoming a new symbol of protest for a more democratic Hong Kong.

As the civil disobedience movement entered a second day on Monday, logos for the "umbrella revolution" or "umbrella movement" began spreading on social media. 

Two designs shared by an internet user named Kacey Wong showed umbrellas in a shade of fiery red-orange, as well as red and white.

Another logo shared by netizen Ger Choi showed the outline of a white umbrella, above which hovered a yellow star in a halo of green and blue.
