On Thursday, Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said the United States should reflect on why it adopted different positions on the two events. She said the storming of the Hong Kong legislature was more “severe” than the events in Washington, but there were no fatalities among the protesters.
“In ... 2019, radical demonstrators [in Hong Kong] violently stormed the city’s Legislative Council building, wantonly damaged facilities, used toxic powders and liquids to attack and beat the police, and even [allegedly] bit a police officer’s finger off,” Hua said. “Facing a situation like this, Hong Kong police had kept a high degree of restraint and no demonstrators died.
“Now the US mainstream media had unanimously criticised violent Trump fans in [Washington], saying it’s a violent event and those protesters are mobs, extremists ... But what description did they use on the Hong Kong protest? ‘Beautiful sight’.” Hua was referring to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s comments about mass demonstrations in June 2019 in Hong Kong as a “beautiful sight to behold”.
Cuba wouldn't have made it this far without China. We need China in order for countries like Cuba to flourish, and what's more, they're the only nominally socialist state with the power to stand against the western hegemony. They may not be the ideal communist nation, but they need our critical support right now.

debatable. and ive got things to say on this and the discussion might be worth happening elsewhere, but ive asked to disengage on this thread multiple times because I can't with the uncritical tankies.
hey I've asked to disengage multiple places on this thread. you might be replying upthread of those, I don't even give enough shits about arguing with you to check, and I can act like im assuming good faith, but it's really hard to do honestly at this point where tankies are involved.
I would like to not hear anything aobut this thread in my inbox ever ever ever again. thank you.
