BEIJING - China drew a comparison on Thursday between the storming of the U.S. Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump and last year’s often-violent pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, but noted that no one had died when demonstrators took over the legislature of the China-ruled city.Clips of the chaotic scenes from Washington aired repeatedly on Chinese state television.
Months of anti-government protests in Hong Kong in 2019 included the July 1 storming of the city’s legislature, in a campaign for democratic reforms that Beijing ultimately quashed with new national security legislation. One man died after falling from a parking lot during one protest in the city. Hua also condemned U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s comments in which he said Washington may sanction those involved in the arrest of over 50 people in Hong Kong and will send the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations to visit Taiwan.
Around the world, leaders expressed shock and concern, condemning the attempted subversion of democracy.
Hong Kong is ruled by tyranny regime! It is no democracy!
Looool
It’s interesting to see how questionable democracies mock the US during this time. The difference is that in the US there’s a balance of power and mechanisms to invoke a presidents’ resignation. In banana republics there isn’t
At least US protesters are heard unlike in China they are forcibly silenced or departed.
Tell China to fuck off. 81 million + 72 million got to vote for who they wanted. HK or Mainland China doesn’t get to vote in a tyrannical regime.
Not a smart thing to to, best avoid making more people notice the similarities ...
The fact is that there is no difference between those stupid X. what they are doing is just to damage their motherland.
china doing sarcasm if it’s not good riddance to trump america.
I think the United States should redefine freedom and democracy.
yet Tiananmen Square protest was 'different '
