Hmmm.... why are they occupying the HSBC building and not Cheung Kong centre ? Maybe it's because the HSBC building provides very good shelter from the elements and is closer to Central ...

Occupy Hong Kong Caps 100 Days as Protesters Leave for New Year By Lynn Thomasson
Jan. 22 (Bloomberg) -- The Occupy Central movement in Hong Kong capped 100 days as protesters outside the Asian headquarters of HSBC Holdings Plc headed home for Lunar New Year celebrations.
Many of the demonstrators will return later in the week, said Sum Ho, who works in the construction industry. About 10 people with the Occupy movement mingled around pitched tents, tables with food, and protest banners under the HSBC building.
“The gap between the rich and the poor is widening and the government is doing nothing,†Ho said. “I see the situation around the financial system getting worse.â€
The Occupy Central movement began in October as part of demonstrations that started in New York and spread to Europe, Asia and Australia.
In New York, Occupy Wall Street protesters held marches and a candlelight vigil earlier this month to honor Martin Luther King Jr. In Melbourne, officials ordered members of the movement to remove their tents from a park in the city center in November.
