• Beijing recognizes political situation in HK will not change overnight despite recent calm
• Voter base for radical protesters still sizable, even accounting for recent emigration
• Work needed to help HK people, especially youth, understand mainland China prospects
• Encourage HK youth to visit mainland to see development for themselves
• Should use this period of calm to gradually change political outlook, not rush
