How China is winning the Hong Kong propaganda war
Discredit, attack, and marginalise. Beijing is showing
just how to wait out the protests, then turn the tide.
4.完整新闻内文:
I have been in touch with “Lee” for a few months now. She is a 20-something
Hongkonger heavily involved in the long-running protest movement there, and
she has always sounded pretty level-headed and clear in our communications,
replying to my queries with long, considered, and helpful answers. Today she
seems fraught. I had asked her about whether I could speak to anyone
currently involved in the battle at Polytechnic University that has been
raging continually for days.
Her response was terse.
No; it’s a life-or-death (or arrest) situation in there right now. We’re
not available for interviews at the moment.
Clearly protesters are rattled with the shift from fluid street phase to
civil war phase.
As a media advisor, I have been watching the events in Hong Kong from a
messaging point of view very closely. I wrote recently here and elsewhere
that the protesters may have lost the narrative and that they are in danger

简易英文翻译：
北京中共高层刻意将“反送中”推向暴力冲突后再大肆报导，明显进行抹黑宣传。
中共操作示威与暴力挂钩俾利镇压：北京与港府面对香港抗争危机显然采取“静待瓦解（wait-it-out）”策略，系因抗争群众仍须兼顾工作、家庭或学业，无法永远在街头抗争，且随着圣诞节临近，西方媒体对香港抗争之兴趣将减少。然外界现在担忧暴力冲突升高，以及该等暴力冲突恐转移抗争者诉求。
中共策略为抹黑攻击及边缘化：中共藉港警挑起暴力，并使用卧底破坏分子（agent provocateurs）将抗争塑造为恐怖主义及内战形式活动，借此赋予其使用一切手段镇压“暴徒”及“恐怖分子”权利。
暴力冲突已成此次抗争焦点，原本抗争提出的5大诉求因而遭到忽视。在中共及港府的讯息中，原本的和平示威活动已成为战争，而媒体使用的影音及文字成为当权者操纵风向工具，凡此显示中共正运用抹黑（discredit）、攻击（attack）及边缘化（marginalize）等策略。
北京下一步恐对抗争者进行司法起诉：港警包围香港理工大学属边缘化过程的一部分，旨在限缩示威并使激进分子恐慌；过程中出现的真正武器及众多伤亡将是中共宣传战棋局中的重要一步；在制造战争形象后，政府当局似将展开司法起诉。
