Umbrella Movement
The Umbrella Movement is a loose pro-democracy political movement that was created spontaneously during the Hong Kong protests of 2014. Its name derives from the recognition of the umbrella as a symbol of defiance and resistance against the Hong Kong government, and the united grass-roots objection to the decision of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPCSC) of 31 August.
The movement consists of individuals numbering in the tens of thousands who participated in the protests that began on 28 September 2014, although Scholarism, the Hong Kong Federation of Students, Occupy Central with Love and Peace are groups principally driving the demands for the rescission of the NPCSC decision. Since the start of the 2014 protests, movement activists have complained of harassment from political opponents "alarmingly similar to the way mainland Chinese activists and their families have long been targeted".〔
== Names ==
The term 'Occupy Central' (佔中) is commonly used to describe the occupy campaign in Hong Kong, named after a group that has advocated a civil disobedience protest since 2013. The name 'Umbrella Revolution' was coined by Adam Cotton on Twitter on 26 September, in reference to the umbrellas used for defence against tear gas, and quickly gained widespread acceptance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hong Kong: #umbrellarevolution, anatomie d'un hashtag )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=HK police surprise protesters with tear gas )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hong Kong protests in pictures: The 'Umbrella Revolution' )〕〔(Images of Hong Kong’s ‘Umbrella Revolution’ Tell a Story ). ''The New York Times'', 29 September 2014.〕 The name was later rejected by some prominent members and supporters of the Occupy Central campaign who were not comfortable with the supposed violent connotations of the name, and concerned as to how it would be perceived by Chinese authorities. They emphasised that the movement was not a colour revolution but rather a demand for free and fair elections, and proposed the name 'Umbrella Movement' as an alternative.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hong Kong Protest Rally With Benny Tai, Joshua Wong Addressing Crowd )〕
Since there is no true leadership or formal organisation overall, both names have been used by the participants at the same time. Some participants that oppose peaceful protests, including Civic Passion, oppose the name of Umbrella Movement.
