The Silent Majority for Hong Kong (Chinese: 幫港出聲; lit. 'Help Hong Kong to speak out') is an anti-Occupy Central pro-Beijing[2][3] political group in Hong Kong. It was founded on 8 August 2013 by members of the pro-Beijing alliance including former RTHK radio host Robert Chow[4] and Professor of Economics at Lingnan University Ho Lok-sang.[5]
The group, which opposed the Occupy Central with Love and Peace movement, released a video on YouTube predicting deaths and chaos if the Occupy Central protests were to proceed,[2] and organised numerous activities opposing the Occupy Central movement under the name Alliance for Peace and Democracy,[6] such as a signature campaign and a march.
