On Monday night the prime minister went on TV with a road map. Now it’s limbo time. Have the protesters decided to begin negotiating seriously? Will the barricades they’ve set up begin to come down? Will the threatened counter-protests now be called off? Are the government’s offers to call elections serious?
Those three reputed Chinese curses come to mind:
May you live in interesting times
May you come to the attention of those in authority
May you find what you are looking for
