    US funding

    There was an article from Time that noted US funding of various initiatives associated with the protests. (The article's ostensible topic is the freezing of these funds by the Trump administration.) Some excerpts:

    • The freeze affected several contracts—estimated by two sources with knowledge of them to be worth around $2 million—that would have directly benefited the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong.
    • Another initiative hamstrung by the freeze was the OTF’s approximately $500,000 rapid response fund, designed to provide fast relief for civil society groups, protesters, journalists and human rights defenders who have come under digital attack. The fund is open to applicants from around the world, but has made several payouts to groups in Hong Kong since unrest began there in June 2019.
    • The OTF is little-known outside the world of open source technology, but its funding has contributed to the development of secure communications tools used by protesters in Hong Kong and around the world. It was a key early funder of Signal, the encrypted messaging app of choice for many Hong Kong protesters. Between 2012 and 2016, it donated nearly $3 million to the development of the encryption protocol the app is built on.
    • Assistance so far, when it has come, has come from bodies at arm’s length from the U.S. government like the OTF and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), another non-profit predominantly funded by Congress, which spent about $643,000 on Hong Kong programs in 2019.

    This report was referenced in an editorial for the Hong Kong based paper SCMP which acknowledged its implications. Another potentially usable source on the topic of US involvement (which I don't have access to) is the book "The Other Side of the Story: A Secret War in Hong Kong".

    Fatalities and injuries chapter needed

    Nowadays, media is full of news of protests. It reminded me of infamous Tiananmen and Yellow Vest. Visited both and noticed both articles have dedicated chapters for deaths and injuries. I was curious to compare with the infamous Hk protest and the number of deaths and injuries but there's no dedicated chapter in this article and very difficult to find info on the deaths. I think for such an important protest, deaths and injuries are significant enough to deserve a dedicated chapter yet it's surprising to me that nobody created one. Perhaps it's lack of interest but I think one should be created. But is there a particular reason on why there shouldn't be one? If there's no reason, may I request Misplaced Pages to do consider to create one and fill in the info? 49.195.45.133 (talk) 03:18, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
