Force to force there was little we could do about extending the lease anyway, as Deng said to Maggie "I could walk in and take the whole lot this afternoon."
I don't think that Beijing will be wanting to Tiananmen the area though, it gets a lot of its trade through Hong Kong so really it'll want to defuse the situation as quickly as possible and then try again later but through a more seditious route.
