【太陽報專訊】佔中行動持續近月,內地中央級官方通訊社昨發表英文署名文章,批評本港富豪無表明立場反佔中。該篇題為「Hong Kong tycoons reluctant to take side amid Occupy turmoil」(香港富豪不願在佔中亂局中表態)的文章指,國家主席習近平上月接見本港工商界訪京團時,要求本港富豪團結一致支持中央及特首梁振英,但與會富豪中,僅政協副主席董建華公開反對佔中,長和系主席李嘉誠只呼籲示威學生回家,無明確表態,並點名指包括恒基主席李兆基、嘉里主席郭鶴年及九倉主席吳光正等其他富豪至今一直保持沉默。但此篇英文文章晚上已消失,取而代之的是新華網港澳頻道一篇有關本港商界知名人士斥佔中行動的中文文章,內容正引述了被英文文章點名富豪的發言。!
