More and more evidence is showing that recent incidents of people violently opposing the Occupy Central movement are not normal Hong Kong citizens. There have been reports that Occupy Central protesters have suffered violent attack from police, spies or gangsters suspected of acting under government orders. Next is our report. Hong Kong-based Apple Daily reports that on Oct. 3, Hong Kong Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) showed a news clip of a supposed government staff crying because the Occupy Central protests interfered with his work. The news clip seemed to spotlight Occupy Central's impact on people’s livelihood. But some sharp-eyed netizens revealed that this person is the actor Huang Haiquan, who has performed in TVB drama and film, and belonged to Artiste Film production company. The report said, the Artiste Film has countless ties with TVB as its contractor. The netizens questioned whether someone had connections with the government to invite Huang to act at the government headquarters and allow Leung Chun-ying to have excuse to criticize the impact from Occupy Central. Additionally, on the evening of Oct. 5, a netizen said on Twitter that student representatives agreed to retreat and shook hands with the police to reflect solidarity between the people and the police. The Hong Kong Federation of Students (HKFS) denied the claim and said they knew nothing of it. Hong Kong-based Ming Pao found that the man who shook hands with the police admitted that he is an auxiliary police who is resigning. The report says that the officer's name is Yang Yilang, who is a third-year history student at Shue Yan University. Some netizen questioned whether he was an undercover. Yan Minhua, Hong Kong activist: "A lot of people including someone from Mong Kok said on the microphone that they wanted to retreat. Later, that guy was exposed to also be a policeman. This rumor has had the opposite effect, and has encouraged more citizens to participate, because the rumor made the protest supporters decide to come over immediately out of fear of the people there leaving." Some netizens said on Twitter that it’s Hong Kong police who are having a negative impact on Hong Kong. One netizen says the man in the picture acted like a “rascal” in Mong Kok and was surrounded and questioned by people and students; he quickly showed his police badge to be safe. Jin Zhong, Hong Kong Open Magazine chief editor: “For this this protest to continue in depth, this phenomenon is inevitable. Especially since the Communist Party has a lot of undercover experience in dealing with the student movement, and the democracy movement in such ways for decades. They send people into a civic group and have them act as activists and then incite violence, which is same function as when they used to send spies into the Chinese Nationalist Party's troops and government.” A small political news comment website with Mao leftist style M4 posted on Sina Weibo that the anti-Occupy Central people were blocked and violently kicked by the students when they requested students to get out of the way. This post triggered hot discussion on students’ being violent. One netizen says: “M4 talked nonsense for a bit of dog food. Don’t think this is Beijing, because world medias have recorded the whole process with pictures and video. If you want to make a rumor, you have to think about it.” University of Hong Kong teacher Mrs. Liao told NTD she saw the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) intentionally unleash thugs pretending to be Occupy Central protesters in Mong Kok to fight with the anti-Occupy Central people. Because the government will have an excuse to clear up in force if there is bloodshed. Miss Liao, University of Hong Kong teacher: "I saw the people in front of me actually knew each other, but made it in appear that they were opposite sides. A man next to me said he saw someone wearing a blue ribbon (expressing support for the police) who then switched to wearing yellow Ribbon (supporting the umbrella movement). I think this approach of the government's is very shameful." A popular video on Facebook shows police in Mong Kok carrying a suspect and removing him from the scene of an incident, but then they send him off in a taxi. Yan Minhua: "I notice the police at the front lines are tired; plus the people have very negative impression of the police. So whether it's physically or mentally, the police on the verge of collapse . Why did Leung Chun-ying suppress? I believe Leung is just putting up a fight before his collapse.” International media Epoch Times quoted Beijing sources who say the CCP is very unstable now and it's not possible to send troops into Hong Kong. In this case, Chinese leader Xi Jinping will challenge Leung with the Hong Kong issue. Liang will have to step down if he can’t work it out. However, it seems that at present, the National People’s Congress’s decision won’t be overturned.
