Voice of Loving Hong Kong ((中国語:愛港之聲)) is a pro-Beijing camp organisation and pressure group. Created by businessman and activist Patrick Ko, initially as a Facebook page, its stated aim is to show solidarity with, and support for the CY Leung administration. It organises rallies and counter-demonstrations in opposition to anti-government and anti-Beijing demonstrations. ==History== ''Voice of Loving Hong Kong'' should not be confused with ''Caring Hong Kong Power'', which in Chinese has a similar name ((中国語:愛護香港力量)). "Caring Hong Kong Power", which organised the December 30, 2012 "pro Hong Kong" march, is famous for its members coming into conflict with reporters from Now TV and anti-Leung activists.〔( 挺梁遊行惹火 記者捱揍 沿途四爆衝突 愛港力劃清界線 )〕 Despite "Voice of Loving Hong Kong" and "Caring Hong Kong Power" both being in the Pro-Beijing camp, members of the two parties flame each other on social media.〔(挺梁團體內訌 網上互罵 ). 信報. 2012年12月27日.〕 "Voice of Loving Hong Kong", "Caring Hong Kong Power" and organisations such as "Hong Kong Youth Care Association Limited" ((中国語:香港青年關愛協會)) form a loose coalition referred to as the "Love Hong Kong faction" ((中国語:愛字派)). "Voice of Loving Hong Kong" and "Caring Hong Kong Power" can be differentiated in that "Voice" uses banners and printed material featuring computer generated and colourful cartoon-like Chinese characters, and "Care" uses material featuring red characters, using traditional Chinese calligraphy in regular script, on a white background. These various factions are united in opposition to the pan-democracy camp and in their antagonism to Falun Gong. On New Year's Day 2013, "Voice of Loving Hong Kong" organised an event it called the "Love Hong Kong, support the government, New Year's Day Carnival" ((中国語:愛香港、撐政府 元旦嘉年華)). Despite being labelled a "carnival", the event held at the Tamar Amphitheatre, in Tamar Park, Admiralty, was seen as a counter protest mounted against an anti-Leung demonstration held by the Civil Human Rights Front on the same day. Patrick Ko, in defence against accusations that "Voice" had timed and sited its event as a deliberate provocation, stated that the "carnival" was apolitical, was independent of outside powers and that he hoped that it would "Convert anger into harmony". He stated that the public, being rational, would overcome differences, and that he did not foresee violence.〔(愛港之聲冀遊行集會化戾氣 )〕 "Voice of Loving Hong Kong" attends pan-democracy debates and events, with the aim of forcing the abandonment of the events, primarily through the use of heckling.〔(左派粗暴干擾政改研討會 大會無奈腰斬 愛港之聲：好嘢，收工！ )〕 〔 〕 "Voice" members hold the position that "The Chinese government was forced to mobilize the army for national security," and that "no one died in Tiananmen Square". In its opinion, continued remembrance of Tiananmen Square is mistaken and only serves to make people unhappy, and that in order to move on it is best to let go of the memory and sorrow of those events, to "forgive and forget". In 2014, on the eve of the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, "Voice of Hong Kong" members gathered outside Tin Hau Station and distributed leaflets. This brought "Voice" members into conflict with members of the public and what began as an exchange of words escalated into an exchange of blows. Police had to separate the two sides and erected barriers to keep the two sides apart.〔(改變良機已到 馬籲陸平反六四 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Voice of Loving Hong Kong」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
