Hong Kong Protest Leaders – Sick facts that Western countries do not know
when a democratic movement itself is not democratic ...
Hong Kong protest activists have been proactively contacting foreign governments and foreign press, telling them how righteous they are and why their governments are wrong. But why have they not received the majority’s supports from the locals?
Award-winning author, Selina Co, is a Hong Kong citizen (dual citizen) and is native in Cantonese (Hong Kong’s spoken language) and fluent in English and Mandarin. Selina has interviewed Hongkongers from all walks of life and translated protest activists’ videos, statistics, local newspapers and verified reports to English, showing protest activists’ misconducts, misleading actions, lies, misbehaviours and how undemocratic protest leaders have been. Sources are presented to you whereas possible so that you can verify them. Most of these have never been presented to foreign governments or foreign press.
Being currently in Australia, Selina can speak freely and present facts, without interference by China or by protesters and have no conflict of interests from either side.
Perhaps, you will find that this ‘democratic movement’ is just a scam …
** This book is written for the best interest of the people. It has no intention to support or oppose Communist China.

(We call ourselves “Alpaca” because the alpaca is a confusing animal. This sheep-like, ever-smiling creature is actually an excellent guard animal for sheep, kicking and killing wolves and foxes. The alpaca is a camelid without a hump. It is a real animal, but it is virtual and only exists on-line to almost all of the world.
The alpaca's face is even used in certain countries as the top mythical internet creature, the "grass mud horse". Its nature is as confusing as a romance scam, and that makes alpacas the best natural enemy for them. It also teaches a little parable about internet identity: do you believe an alpaca is talking to you because we put alpaca pictures into our profile?

We believe that an IT evidence-based fight against online dating fraud can root out the devastating impacts of romance scams. If you see that the person talking to you is actually in Nigeria, for example, instead of the US or Europe as he/she claim, you should immediately be awake.
As with other scams in real life, we believe 90% of romance scams are avoidable and detectable. Do not panic because it is in the cyber world; but please panic if you are not knowledgeable about how romance scams work.
Despite the threat of romance scam, we still believe you do not need to stop pursuing love and a life-time partner using the Internet. You just need to be always very careful as we IT consultants are happy to provide related advice and evidence.

While helping individuals with information and services is our focus at present, we also intend to advise and serve governments and organizations efficiently in the future.
