were in the 2014 occupation that they throw bricks at the police when they tried to clear up some street foods renewal so after that as well that there's a mass arrest of activists and leaders and so that this is what year you said? 2016 is the Mong Kok one and then the mass arrest happened after 2016 and after 2014 and then the trial and the imprisonment of the leaders of the occupy happened just a few months ago right before this 2019 movement. Did this catch Beijing by surprise given the way that they dealt with 2014 did they feel that they had effectively crushed these protests and that this was not going to be an issue going forward? I think it definitely caught Beijing and it basically caught everybody by surprise and I think original calculation of Beijing and Hong Kong government about why they tried to pass this extradition bill in such a kind of a hasty manner because I think the judgment is that the leaders the co-activists of the opposition has been arrested behind bar and (18/39)
