【新唐人2014年10月01日訊】9月30號，香港佔中行動進入第三天之後，仍然有抗議者在中環，灣仔、銅鑼灣、旺角等地聚集。儘管港府在星期一撤回了防暴警察，不過星期二，學生和市民都發現，港府並不是軟化，而是轉用了其他手法。
30號凌晨，中環的天橋下面，是銀色的海洋。成千上萬的民眾自發聚集在這裡，人們亮起手機屏幕，高喊要梁振英下臺。
天橋上，「我要真普選」，「風雨中抱緊自由」的橫幅高掛，人群中，有人唱起了Beyound樂隊的「海闊天空」。
現場香港市民妮可：「金鐘中環政府總部，還有汽車送水啊，便當車送食品，那個場面很壯觀。」
佔中進入第三天，時鐘剛剛指到零點5分鐘，港視主席王維基，就在社交網站臉書留言說：「各位朋友，今晚無論有多少人衝動地做任何的事，包括衝擊政總或作出任何挑釁性行為，也不要被煽動或支援。因為你永不會知道衝擊者的背景和目的。要記住，集會的目的是和平抗爭，透過和平理性手法表達訴求。」
彷彿印證了王維基的擔憂，就在一個多小時後，凌晨快2點，一架深灰色奔馳轎車，突然高速衝向在旺角亞皆老街和平集會的人群，然後快速駛離現場。幸虧人們及時躲避，沒有人受傷。這名司機後來被捕。
而之後，又好幾次傳出有人搞事的謠言，學聯懷疑是政府散播，為了阻止市民參與佔中行動，因此呼籲支持者，要以學聯臉書專頁消息為準。
嶺南大學學聯常委羅冠聰:「就現在警方會混入很多便衣去，鼓動或是煽動人群，就冷靜或理性的去對待，不要出現任何肢體暴力的狀況，這是必須的，也是公民抗命的信心和精神。」
香港大學學聯常委梁麗幗:「我們說的很清楚，人群裡面可能有警察，你們可不可以冷靜一點。然後其實，大部分的群眾，他們都很冷靜。」
星期二，街頭的民眾有所減少。就在前一天，港府撤離了防暴警察，政務司長林鄭月娥也表示，將推遲政改第二輪諮詢。不過，抗議者並不認為這是港府有所軟化。
大學生HELEN KWONG：「我會覺得這個是個戰略，因為前一天放了催淚彈，那如果今天或者昨天再放（催淚彈）的話，就會引起很多的國際上的輿論，那麼政府一定會受到太大的壓力，所以今天、所以昨天是平靜，我覺得是合理的。」
也有香港市民表示，港府只是把壓制民眾的方式，從表面轉入幕後。
香港市民妮可：「但是政府現在用很卑鄙的手段來對付我們，封鎖新聞。連香港的新聞，等於說是在電視臺播放的，佔中三子的發起人之一戴耀廷，在旺角街上的講話，放到一半，他馬上把那個畫面，哢嚓，換他那個歌舞昇平的畫面上來啦。」
也有輿論認為，由於10月1號在即，目前這些做法，只是因為港府害怕形勢進一步失控，會讓北京難堪。
香港市民妮可：「如果激怒了香港人，我估計有超過50萬人要站出來。十一的時候，明天一定有一個大的，集結的遊行的。」
30號，美國白宮回應香港佔中行動，表示密切關注，敦促港府克制，示威者維持和平。英國副首相剋萊格撐香港佔中示威者勇敢，重申普選必須給港人真正選擇。但是在大陸方面，中共媒體仍然對佔中少有報導。
《環球時報》還在當天聲稱，香港政改環境，不會因為佔中而有改變。

Third Day of Occupy Central Sit-in Will HK Government withdraw before October 1?
Hong Kong Occupy Central civil disobedience movement enters the third day of protests on Sept. 30. Protesters still gather in Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, Mong Kok and other places. Although the Government withdrew the riot police on Monday, students and the public on Tuesday have found that the Government did not soften, but switch to other tactics.
Sept 30th morning, a silver sea emerges below the pedestrian bridge of the Central. Tens of thousands of people spontaneously gathered here. They illuminated their phone screens and shouted for Leung Chun-ying to step down.
Banners reading: “I want genuine universal suffrage", “hold freedom tightly in the wind and rain" hang on the overpass bridge. Among the crowd, someone sang “brighter future" of Beyond Band.
Hong Kong citizen Nicole: “At the Government Offices in Admiralty and Central, some cars transport bottled water, and lunch vehicles transport foods for Occupy Central participants, and that scene is very spectacular."
The third day of Occupy Central in Hong Kong, when the clock just read 0:05, the Chairman of Hong Kong Television Network Limited Ricky Wong wrote a message on Facebook:"Dear friends, tonight, no matter how many people do anything by impulse, including attacking government buildings or doing anything provocative, please do not be incited and do not support them. Because you will never know those attackers’ background and purpose. Keep in mind the purpose of peaceful protest rallies, express your demands in a peaceful and rational way. “
The actual story seemed to confirm Ricky‘s worries. Just over one hour after midnight, close to 2:00, a dark grey Mercedes sedan, suddenly rushed at high speed into the people holding peaceful assembly on Argyle Street of Mong Kok, and then quickly left the scene. Thanks to the people who, in a timely manner, took evasive action, no one was injured. The driver was later arrested.
Afterwards, rumours of attacking incidents came out a few times. HK Student Federation suspected the government spread the rumours hoping to prevent public participation in the action of Occupy Central. So HK Student Federation called on supporters to confirm all the information in terms of the official Facebook of HKSF.
Lingnan University Student Union’s Standing Committee Member Luo Guan-cong: “Just now the police dispatch a lot of plainclothes mixing inside the crowd. When they instigate or incite the crowd, we should be calm and rational to treat (the situation) without resorting to physical violence. This is necessary, as well as in the spirit of civil disobedience."
Hong Kong University Student Union Standing Committee Member Liang LiGuo:"What we said is very clear, and the plainclothes might stay and mix within the crowd. So please can you cool it a little bit. And then in fact, most of the people were very cool and calm."
On Tuesday, people on the street have decreased. On Monday the Government withdrew the riot police. Chief Secretary Carrie Lam also said the second round of consultation on political reform would be postponed. However, the protesters do not think this shows that the Government have softened.
College student Helen Kwong: “I think this is a strategy, because yesterday tear gas was fired. If they use it again today, international public opinion will be very powerful. The government will be under too much pressure, so just stay calm."
Some Hong Kong citizens also said that the Government only changes the way it suppresses the people from the open to the underhand.
Hong Kong citizen Nicole: “But the government is now treating us in a very despicable way, and even blocking the news. When Benny Tai Yiu Ting gave his speech on Mong Kok Street on the television, half-way through, the picture about his talk was immediately cut and switched to the screen for celebrating peace by singing and dancing."
Public opinion also believe that as October 1 is around the corner, some current action taken by the government is a temporary measure because the Government feared the situation would be further out of control and embarrass Beijing.
Hong Kong citizen Nicole: “If Hong Kong people are angered, I estimate that more than a half million people will come out. On October 1, tomorrow there will be certainly a large and assembled parade."
On Sept 30, the White House responded to the activity of Occupy Central in Hong Kong, expressed close attention, and urged the HK Government to exercise restraint and demonstrators to maintain peace. British Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg praised the bravery of the Hong Kong protesters, and reaffirmed universal suffrage for Hong Kong must be offered which allows people to have real choice. But in mainland China, the Chinese Communist Party official media has few reports on Occupy Central. On the same day, “Global Times" still claimed that Hong Kong political reform will not change along with the Occupy Central movement.
