I just read this article and it was very interesting but I’d like to seek clarification / further reading about one part of it. They mention in the article that part of Operation Yellowbird was about training “Pro democracy” factions within Chinese universities, and teaching them insurgent tactics. I had never heard of this operation before today, and so I tried to just look it up on Wikipedia to get a brief understanding of it (I know Wikipedia is really shit for leftist stuff but I just wanted a basic understanding before I read the rest of the article). Wikipedia, however, as well as all the other main pages that come up when you search Operation Yellowbird, seem to maintain that the operation was concerned solely with the extraction of “pro democracy” students AFTER the 6/4 incident, and not the training of any of them before. Is this simply an omission of the truth, and is there some further reading someone could direct me to that would mention the first part of the operation? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the reply, that actually makes a lot of sense. Do you have any recommendations of places to learn more about Joshua Wong?
