I te 31 o Akuhata 2014, i whakatauhia e te Komiti Tuturu o te National People's Congress (NPCSC) nga rohe mo te pooti a te Kaunihera Ture 2016 me te 2017 Kaiwhakahaere Matua. Ahakoa te whakapumautanga i te tikanga pooti mo te pooti a te Kaunihera Ture 2016 kaore i rereke, ko te whakatau a te NPCSC 2014 i whakaaetia te Kaiwhakahaere Matua (CE) kia pooti tika engari ko nga kaitono "kore-patriotic" me tirotiro e te komiti whakaingoa a Beijing. Hei urupare ki te whakatau a te NPCSC, i whakahaeretia e ngā kaiwhaiwhai ākonga he whakawātea akomanga i arahi ai ki te marama-roa
te nekehanga noho nui i whakaritea e Occupy Central, i kīia ko te "Revolution Umbrella".
