Get HKSAR back on track

TO THE GREAT RELIEF OF THE MAJORITY OF CITIZENS, Hong Kong police finally took long anticipated action over the past couple of days to clear illegal blockades set up by "Occupy Central" protesters on some of the city's main thoroughfares.

By assisting court officials to clear streets blocked by the illegal campaign and arresting those who obstructed them, the police performed its statutory duties and upheld the rule of law.

The clearing operation could last for a few more days before ending weeks of massive chaos and disruption on the streets. But it has spelt the defeat of the "Umbrella Revolution" - the Hong Kong version of the "color revolution".
