Hong-Kong Protests

Correct me if I'm wrong. But I got the impression that Joshua Wong was artificially put up as the "leader" of the 2014 Occupy Central protests, when in reality he wasn't actually that important among the protest movement itself back in 2014? I only saw mention of him in western media, but almost none from local Hong Kong coverage.

But by the 2019 riots, he did manage to gain local popular notoriety.

I thought it was the opposite. He and the others were more of the public face during the prior uprising. In 2019, the group seem more leaderless from a public perspective. Seems likes of Josh and Nathan were operating more in a secretive manner to approach help from the west rather than canon foddler on the streets.

Maybe it is something already covered in HK but I would like to see some theories of full graph and hieracrchy of the riot groups.

Took them long enough. Little roaches are fun to stomp and smack around but remember to do this at the upper level, deal with bankers, the union heads, the property holders, entertainment and hospitality.

Rectifications in SCMP and HKU are long overdue.
