From what I know, it’s rediculous disinformation to try and make the connection between regime-change NGOs and students.

Diana writes the protest leader "learned organizing skills in numerous programs and workshops funded by Western foundations" and both his parents are prominent NGO leaders so it does sound like he was groomed and educated to become a regime change actor, you don't get a more direct connection than that...

Reminds me a bit of how it turned out Joshua Wong took part in some "leadership development course" organised by NED, read regime change training, before orgnising the protests.
