Good. China has every right to control its territories and this includes Hong Kong. If the KKK were to stage an anti-Black protest in an American university they would be rightfully similarly attacked and persecuted. China is only defending its rights. Those HK protesters need to face justice.

- AnimalMuppet 7y agoChinese territory doesn't include Australia, though...
- skdkdk 7y agoOh man, so you equate peaceful protest to KKK. What justice is it by the way? Seems like you are trying to define the law to your own definition.
- eximius 7y agoCounter protesting is NOT the same as violence. Peaceful protests being attacked are never okay.
- mullen 7y agoThat does not make sense at all. The KKK is not a foreign government sending its members to foreign colleges to censor students who are lawfully protesting in their own country. If Chinese students are offended by what other college students are protesting in their own country, they can do what everyone else does, ignore them.
- xmly 7y agoDo you have evidence the students were sent by foreign governments? Where is your claim coming from? From your imagination?

- xmly 7y agoDo all the news you listed provided any concrete evidence? Having the same opinion with the government on some topics does not mean they are controlled by the government or share all beliefs with the government. Like I support Trump's government policy on making the health bills more transparent, but I do not agree with him on his 'racist' tweets.
