he has a point.
the mode of universal suffrage that the protestors were asking was not simply allowing hong kong citizens to vote for the candidates, which will be the form of election in 2017 proposed by the hong kong government. instead they were asking the government for much more: potential candidates for the chief executive should be nominated directly by the hong kong people, and then hong kong people will cast votes to elect the new chief executive.
this form of election is very uncommon in developed countries.
