The way the US treated the protestors for Black lives Matters.... HK police actions pales in comparison.

It’s like how the US suddenly wants to treat all the Muslims in China humanely. Then you look at the Middle East...

In Hong Kong a police car gets burned and bombed a university is in a siege, and all of the shops are looted, banks are robbed, police only take out guns because they were trying to protect themselves, the airport was closed, if that happened in the US, like JFK airport was also closed, then I will bet that Trump will call the military, Also, please go check me out on YouTube, I never had this many people like my comment!

Since Trump likes to support HK protestors so much, he should take them in to the States as his citizens. 🤣🤣

China isn't perfect, but US is straight up psychotic. I'm glad the illusion of exceptionalism is starting to fail

Mike Pompeo insists that any attempt by anyone, anywhere across the globe to investigate US war crimes is nothing but a Kangaroo court and ought to be dismissed – and no one should dare think about holding the US or Israel accountable for crimes against humanity..  Who does he answer to?

Hongkongers just realized how restrained their police and military are compared to the country they sought to bring them 'Democracy and Freedom'

The USA has never been honest. It's built on genocide and continuous wars.

It's simple. The Hong kong riot is an inside job from USA. To destroy China.

As an american I fully agree with his assessment of how our government handled it, but I I travel for a living and everyone I talked to about both protest only condoned peaceful protest and shunned rioting and understood force has to be used on violent people

Hahahah, I apologise but I don't think you've talked to enough people 😆😆😆. Most of Hong Kong protesters I've talked to, friends at University both in the UK and HK support or gloss over the violent protests. They'll make ridiculous excuses to try and justify the violence. You should see my WhatsApp messages wish you could...

Another liberal privilege talking nonsense about BLM and racism.  It doesn't exist.  They have as much chance as a live like rich black celebrities or business or athlete do but done want to work for it. That is the American dream of freedom which HK doesn't have under Communist country.

we all know in any large protest there will be some bad actors being violent. However the BLM leaders of the movement came out in public to condemn the rioting/looting. The HK protest leaders refused to condemn the violence done by their protesters, such as Joshua Wong when he was asked if he would condemn the violence done by the HK protesters, he said there will be no condemning on the HK protest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUAU39hTjkw

...for white people. Let's not forget that. It's funny how right wing people like you love to leave the very important part out.
