Depends on how long/hard the protests continue. If enough abuses are needed to be given out by the polices to defend themselves from the protesters, which in turn likely causes even bigger protests, then it's somewhat unlikely to get rammed thru.
However, if protests get out of hand there is also a good chance that forces decide to swarm protest areas and clear everybody out back into their homes and curfews and whatnot for the good of the peoples, then there will be ample opportunity for bill to get passed very easily. This will cause big big uproar, but as long as citizens are sweated out by police crackdown, there is nothing they can really do until everybody accepts the rule of law. This obviously does not look good for PRC, but is certainly possible.
If protests fizzle out, bill gets enacted eventually.
My prediction is that China has no urgency to get this bill passed at the present time, and will suspend the bill using vague language like they did, and wait for peoples to settle down and forget about it, and then will go at it again when there is less hostility in the air.

Prediction: China will grow larger.

I really couldn't give a fuck to be honest, the shit I order on Ebay takes as long to come from Hong Kong as it does from China, same slow slanty eyed fucks who like to sell you 4gb flash drives and re-badge them at 64gb. Those filthy dogs.
...I take advantage of that though, I use a lot of small flash drives in my numerous projects so I order them knowing they are fake. I dispute them when I get them and they always refund...get my money back and keep the flash drives. Thanks Chin ya dumb fuck.

gotta love a good hypocrite
United Kingdom – UK-China relations have soured over the protests. Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt urged the Hong Kong government to listen to the concerns of the protesters, stating, "It is essential that the authorities engage in meaningful dialogue and take steps to preserve Hong Kong's rights and freedoms and high degree of autonomy, which underpin its international reputation". He added that upholding the "one country, two systems" principle, which is legally bound in the Sino-British Joint Declaration, is vital to Hong Kong's future success.[221] The British Consulate in Hong Kong has also opened its doors for protesters in need of sanctuary.[222] The supply of crowd control equipment (e.g. rubber bullets and tear gas) have been suspended in response to the violence portrayed by the police force.[223] Former colonial Hong Kong governor Chris Patten also praised the protesters in an interview with British news channel Sky News, where he said, "I very much hope the (British) government will among other things have a public enquiry into the demonstrations that have taken place over recent weeks, and to the way they’ve been policed". He also added he did not approve of the 1 July protest, in which he stated "a few students were behaving stupidly" when the storming of the Legislative Council Complex occurred.[224] On 3 July, Chinese ambassador to the UK, Liu Xiaoming, was summoned to the UK's Foreign Office after the ambassador ‘insulted’ the UK and criticised the UK in an interview.[225]
