| Summary/Abstract |
Students in Hong Kong packed their tents, said goodbyes, and ended their occupation in the center of the city. Moments later, some seven thousand police officers, working two shifts over the course of seven hours, dismantled barriers, removed debris, and arrested two hundred and forty-seven protesters who chose to make a final statement by remaining. By the end of the seventy-fifth day of the noisy pro-democracy demonstrations, traffic was flowing by government headquarters on Connaught Road, where once more than a hundred thousand Hong Kong residents congregated in defiance of China.
