A study by researchers from several Hong Kong universities conducted through 12 on-site surveys during protests from June 9 to Aug. 4, found that: “most of the participants agreed that ‘the maximum impact could only be achieved when peaceful assembly and confrontational actions work together’.”
It also found the extent to which protesters agreed or strongly agreed with the saying “the use of violence by protesters is understandable when the government fails to listen” increased from 69% to more than 90% over the summer.
Only around 1% disagreed or strongly disagreed, down from 12.5% in June.
由研究所得,自6月至今,支持及理解勇武既比例由69%上升至90%,反對既由12.5%降至1%
與此同時,有一名外國人目睹灣仔既一次示威後,表示 “The protests here are quite cute compared with Berlin or Paris,” Robert, a 40-year-old French air traffic controller, said over a beer.”

“Drinkers finished their pints and cigarettes outside even as tear gas lingered in the air. Filipino domestic helpers had a picnic on an overpass.”
