This is an excellent opportunity for all the Chinese people.

1. Beijing knows the city of Hong Kong has a specific understanding to what they are looking for in leadership. At the same time Hong Kong is a very important city, both in it's sophistication and it's commerce.
2. Beijing does not want to have adverse outcomes for the people as can occur when government changes in principle as well as persons. China has regard for all it's people and wants to dialogue with the people of Hong Kong. I think this is a magnificent opportunity for existing government to understand the wishes of the people.
3. China has a magnificent history. Recent history is even more gratifying as the people are regarded with investments of companies from around the world. The Chinese have given pause to the nations other than themselves when it comes to economics. The West is a strong partner and can and has offered advice to the development of the Middle Class. The Western nations of people disagree with some of the quality of life in China. The Chinese people and The West are coming closer and closer to being two great nations that have accepted the economics of work and financial advancement. This is a good thing. It is ultimately called peace. 
4. The people of Hong Kong have the burden of bringing together the Chinese government and the wishes of the Chinese people. It is a heavy burden. Beijing understands what it is like to have so many people to look after and continue to move the country forward.
5. With this new willingness "Old World China" and the "Promising Future of the New World China" can begin a dialogue that will transcend confrontation and violence. I am not sure what the platform looks like that Beijing has in mind, but, it seems to me there can be a council that meets with the existing government to discuss how Hong Kong needs and wants to change.
6. China governs in five year plans that have proven to be beneficial to the people of China. I can imagine a council which brings forward an agenda of change for the Hong Kong government as well as Beijing to discuss and incorporate into the five year plan. The people of Hong Kong are doing great things for their country and people. I cannot imagine either the Hong Kong government or the government of China would close off dialogue to advance the future of the country.
7. I wish them all well. The world awaits the open dialogue and the development of the "China to Be," from the China that is.
