&#8220;Revolutions are not won by enlisting the masses. Revolution is a science only a few are competent to practice. It depends on correct organization and, above all, on communications. Then, at the proper moment in history, they strike. Correctly organized and [...]]]></description>

National Father of China Sun Yat-sen&#8217;s concluding speech at the end of the CCTV series, &#8220;Towards the Republic,&#8221; which would have taken place around 1918. This remains one of my favorite monologues of all time. 
My English translation of Sun&#8217;s speech follows below. An alternative translation (done by someone else) [...]]]></description>

2.  Increased dependency on the Mainland will decrease our leverage in discussions in case Beijing brings something to the table which we would consider unacceptable.  This is bad.*
