I’ve just returned home from almost a week in Hong Kong covering the biggest protests in the world.

In summary, the people of Hong Kong are fighting for their freedom and democracy. Hong Kong has been protesting for twelve weeks so far. Protests still manage to rally 1.7 million people.
My prediction: The Hong Kong protest movement isn’t going anywhere until their very reasonable demands are met.
I’ve never seen anything like this. One in about eight Hongkongers took to the streets and not one Police officer in sight. In fact, the only time I witnessed any violence was when the police hit the streets too.
