Talk:Operation Yellowbird

Merge proposal
I think the page Lo Hoi-sing should be merged into this page, since he falls in the category of WP:BIO1E. Tvtr (talk) 01:49, 21 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I think it should not. Lo Hoi-sing a Hongkonger who has a much richer story though I cannot find free source in English media at this moment. (Much more in Chinese media). Lo Hoi-sing is the son of Lo Fu (羅孚), famous editor of Chinese communist newspaper in Hong Kong. Lo Hoi-sing has worked for another Chinese communist newspaper in Hong Kong. When his father was prosecuted by PR China, he detached himself from the connection of the Chinese Communist Party.  He later worked for Hong Kong Government when Hong Kong was under British rule. He was the chief representative in Beijing for Trade Development Council. He resigned in 1989 and became a merchant, trading between Hong Kong and Mainland China. He was arrested in the same year during rescue operation for Operation Yellow.  He was in prison for 2 year and then the British Prime Minster asked the PRC government to release him during the negotiation of New Airport in Hong Kong.  He was invited to 10 Downing Street after he landed London.  A photograph with Prime Minister and him make the PR China angry, and Lo lost his right to return to China until his very last years.


 * So I think the article of Lo Hoi-sing should merge into Operation Yellowbird. You might make reference to Chinese and Cantonese wikipedia. &mdash; HenryLi (Talk) 10:01, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Hong Kong business men? And then all of a sudden so many western countries were all in? Obviously things were planned ahead in order to get the students out they tasked to instigate chaos. --82.207.237.182 (talk) 17:01, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

ADifferentMan - can you explain why you keep including your CIA material? Politixsperson (talk) 03:53, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
 * As I have yet to hear from you even though it has been a few days since I raised this issue, I am removing the material. Politixsperson (talk) 09:56, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
 * You initiated a discussion on the talk page of Talk:1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre on an identical issue, to which I've responded.
 * "Mainstream" is extremely vague and very much open to interpretation, but the article is written by Vancouver Sun, an official Canadian newspaper, not some fringe author. If you think, for whatever reason, that this constitutes an unreliable source, you're free to open a discussion about it on Reliable sources/Perennial sources. Otherwise, you have no right to remove properly sourced content. ADifferentMan (talk) 09:58, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
 * That is not what I said. I did not say or imply that the Vancouver Sun is an unreliable source. What I said is that you need multiple sources to support your claim as stipulated by WP:EXCEPTIONAL. WP:ONUS says “the responsibility for achieving consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content.” You are the person who wants this content included, so the responsibility for obtaining the consensus lies with you, not me.

 * What is so exceptional about the CIA exfiltrating the people they have supported inside of China? There's already another source for the presence of the CIA which is already cited on the page, source #2 at the writing of this reply. Ironsmith-K (talk) 07:05, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * That account got blocked for being a sockpuppet a while back 2600:1700:115F:4000:2158:F2DC:A658:ED1E (talk) 07:28, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
