    Yeah sure people getting detained and put god knows where, beaten down brutally on the protests seems a good way to pass a security law that pretty much makes everything illegal.

    Im not saying the US is all good guys only with the best interest but blaming everything on them when clearly China is the bad actor is just dillusional.

    But you wont change your mind any way since you are either a troll, payed by someone, or really believe what you are saying without questioning why.

      What would US or British or European police do if protesters were throwing bricks and petrol bombs at them, or setting fire to subway stations. Throughout nine months of violent protests the only people that died were killed by protesters.

      I am not a troll nor am I paid by anyone. I live in Hong Kong, I saw what was happening with my own eyes and I also saw the bullshit that was peddled by the international media and repeated on social media by people who have never been to Hong Kong, Taiwan or China.

      It is also worth remembering that it is the US that spends 300 million taxpayer dollars per year on anti China propaganda It’s not even secret but you can be sure corporate media didn’t report it https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/7937/text
