\nStudents attend the rally at Chinese University on September 22, 2014 in Hong Kong<\/p>\n

Students in Hong Kong want genuine universal suffrage for the special administrative region of China<\/p>\n

“When dictatorship becomes a fact, revolution becomes a duty.”<\/p>\n

A T-shirt slogan seen in China this week. But this is not President Xi Jinping’s T-shirt, nor is it merchandising from the Chinese Communist Party.<\/p>\n

Instead the call to arms is emblazoned across the chest of a student in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

Thousands are boycotting classes this week, gathering instead on a university campus wearing yellow ribbons and waving placards; a determined but peaceful exercise in people power and all of them saying the same thing: “I want my voice to be heard. We want real democracy. Genuine universal suffrage for Hong Kong.”<\/p>\n
