Silent Majority for Hong Kong

Chow is quoted as saying "China will not deal with people ... it will only deal with [political] parties". Chow's statement that political parties supporting the occupy movement risked "fading into political obscurity" led some media and individuals, especially from the pro-democracy camp, to denounce the group as pro-establishment^[6][8] Hong Kong "mouthpiece" for the Chinese Communist Party.^[9] As a result of its alleged close connection with the Chinese government, the group has been called by the pro-democracy camp as "Help the [Chinese Communist] Party to speak out" (Chinese: 幫黨出聲).^[10]

On 17 June 2014, the group posted a video on YouTube entitled "They can kill the city!", depicting possible repercussions of the Occupy Central movement.^[11] The video shows total chaos in Hong Kong should an occupation of Central take place, such as territory-wide traffic jams, automatic weapons and people dying of strokes.^[12] Members of the pro-democracy camp and supporters of the Occupy Central movement criticised the group's use of fearmongering tactics^[13] and exaggeration^[9] in an attempt to scare Hong Kong people from participating in the civil disobedience movement.
