The difference between today and 1989 is the vastly improved communication methods we have in place today. The students at Tiananmen relied on the media to carry their message to a wider audience. Today, a picture like this has made its way to millions in a matter of seconds.
My biggest concern is Beijing not just cutting off supply lines to HK, but disrupting information and communication lines.
