The fact is that, we are close to the half way point of the 50yrs 1C2S philosophy and the PRC has continued to elect the CE without any prior democratic process. As outlined in the rule, the ultimate aim of the selection of the CE is by universal suffrage , however, I believe the HKers are getting impatient as the years drag on and more and more HKers believe that they will never see a democratically elected CE.From wiki:
Article 45 gives the requirements for choosing the Chief Executive:
“ The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall be selected by election or through consultations held locally and be appointed by the Central People's Government.[1] ”
“ The method for selecting the Chief Executive shall be specified in the light of the actual situation in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and in accordance with the principle of gradual and orderly progress. The ultimate aim is the selection of the Chief Executive by universal suffrage upon nomination by a broadly representative nominating committee in accordance with democratic procedures.[1] ”
They were never promised that Universal Suffrage will be granted.
They assume it will be given because of having extracted a promise of a timetable of reform (2016 for the legislature and 2017 for the Chief Executive)
If they have behave well, there's room for negotiation. But after what they did, they will probably never get it.
