Fox News 2014 interview with Dr. Michael Pillsbury, Defense Policy Advisor and Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp2a4v3hBVg
Transcript of Pillsbury's answer to the first question of whether «Occupy Central» (Hong Kong 2014), is America's fault:
«It’s not all our fault, but we’re partially involved. We have a large consulate there that’s in charge with taking care of the Hong Kong policy act, passed by Congress to ensure democracy in Hong Kong. We also have funded millions of dollars in programs through the National Endowment for Democracy to help democracy in Hong Kong, so in that sense the Chinese accusation [that it’s America’s fault] is not totally false.»
Note that Pillsbury assisted in drafting the legislation that created the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) in 1983. (Legal origin of the NED is U.S. Congress resolution H.R. 2915 (H.R. means House Resolution)).
Pillsbury has also, according to Wikipedia, been a member of the Board of Freedom House, which is partly funded by NED.
