HK separatists stoop to threats and blackmail

Four years ago when the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region was preparing for an electoral reform package with the aim of implementing universal suffrage for the chief executive election in 2017, there were threats of political consequences from those seeking a new electoral system.

So when fresh warnings about political consequences were issued should a couple of their favored candidates fail the eligibility test for the March 11 Legislative Council by-election, it triggered a strong sense of d��j�� vu.

It seems that they have yet to learn a lesson from their miscalculations in the past.
