This is very interesting, but what does it have to do with the CIA?

Looks like an operation that CIA assisted in spiriting away protesters from the 1989 Tiananmen square massacre.

The reader is expected to see that article and see that the CIA took some action in HK in the 90s and come to the conclusion that because they helped protesters to flee the country in the 90s they are behind the current protests by inference.

I personally see a coincidence or red herring.

Do you claim that the establishment of precedent has no value in increasing the plausibility of a claim?
