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”.
with all due respect you're not going to be taken very seriously if you allude to vague bad things that could literally mean anything. if you're not specific with your criticisms then we're just going to assume ur some lib concern trolling over foxconn suicide nets or something.
I mean, those too. you're not communist if (even semi)private companies own the means of production. full fucking stop. the rest is just the standard horrors of capitalism. I'd link, but I asked to disengage downthread because you people are irrational thugs and I can't believe in left unity or that you (collective, IDK you personally yet) are engaging in anything but bad faith.
