		Although Hong Kong bases would unquestionably help the PLA to extend its reach into the South China Sea, the additional capability would be marginal and not worth the material, and political, costs required to make the SAR into a significant military base.
		Hong Kong's economic success has been dependent on the predictability that results from the rule of law along with the many freedoms common throughout the developed world-freedom of movement, speech, assembly, press, etc. In general, these freedoms are preserved in the Basic Law, but many of the details remain to be defined specifically.

		Chinese leaders are fearing mass demonstrations in Hong Kong, which could possibly spark a movement across the mainland, writes Georgie Anne Geyer in The Chicago Sun Times.
		For the first time since British rule — which ended in 1997 - Hong Kong residents are feeling as if the territory is really “[their] town.” The growing sense of local identity has caused the Hong Kong electorate to become increasingly demanding, which is exactly what Beijing does not want.
		Although Chinese officials claim the purpose of the parade was to boost patriotism in Hong Kong, some saw it as an attempt by Beijing to remind the territory “who’s in charge” amid tensions over the expected pro-democracy candidate’s victory in the September elections.
