** 24-Nov-2019 World View: Hong Kong elections
I don't believe that this is a change. As I understand it, there
are only a couple of dozen protesters still hiding away inside
the university, and the police have said they'll wait them out.
Hong Kong is holding elections on Sunday. Everyone has been on
their best behavior this past week, in order to get votes.
As of this time (midnight ET = Sunday 1 pm in HK), al-Jazeera is
reporting much larger than usual turnout.
