英文稿全文:
In September 2014, pro-democracy campaigners in Hong Kong protested outside
the government headquarters and occupied several major thoroughfares and
intersections. They are protesting Beijing’s plan for electoral changes,
which for the first time would let the public vote for the city’s Chief
Executive, starting in 2017. But critics say the plan would screen out
candidates who do not have Beijing’s implicit blessing, ruling out genuine
democracy for the forthcoming 2017 election.
Student groups first began protesting outside the government headquarters in
the week of 22 September 2014. In the evening of 26 September, a group of
several hundred demonstrators breached a security barrier and entered the
plaza in front of the government headquarter building. They soon were
cordoned off by the police and blockaded overnight. Eventually, the event
culminated in a stand-off, during which the police attempted to disperse
protesters with shields, batons, pepper spray, and tear gas. The resulting
conflict, in which protesters were seen using umbrellas as flimsy shields
against pepper spray, seemed to have generated a subsequent wave of protest
in Central, Hong Kong’s main financial district. Thousands of protesters in
the district have defied government calls to abandon street blockades, and
students from schools across Hong Kong have boycotted classes. A government
announcement that the riot police had been withdrawn from the protest centers
also seemed to open the door to growing demonstrations.
Protesters camped out on the main throughway leading into the city's central
business district are well aware that the situation could turn violent at any
time. The demonstrators, bracing for the possibility of a police crackdown,
have prepared masks, protective goggles and plastic raincoats. One of the
pro-democracy activist groups, Occupy Central, short for Occupy Central with
Love and Peace (OCLP), states that if its calls to reform the electoral
process fail, then it is prepared to continue its civil disobedience. The
group has occupied the central business district by mustering thousands of
protesters to sit in and peacefully block traffic. The mostly student
protesters now demand a full electoral reform and have called on Hong Kong
Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying to step down.
Chinese state media carried reports on Beijing's official response to the
march, which was that the size of the protest would not change the central
government's stance on Hong Kong's political arrangements. On Monday the Hong
Kong government canceled the city’s annual fireworks show to mark China’s
National Day, which falls on Wednesday, 1 October. Thus far, the government
censors in Beijing have ordered websites in mainland China to delete any
mention of the unrest.
