So far China has been extremely calm and restrained itself from doing anything premature and yet they are being portrayed as the absolute worst people. On the other hand there are governments like the US which immediately respond with military action even in countries where people protest which have nothing to do with the US and they are being portrayed as the heroes. It's funny how the HK protests and the immense media coverage coincide with the trade war escalations between the US and China. Even this forum is being gamed by people who come here and specifically post and upvote a narrative which they want to push on us. Anyone who doesn't see through this bs is naive.

> governments like the US (...) are being portrayed as the heroes. Where, exactly? Please demonstrate who and where is the US portrayed as a hero by more than a handful of non-Americans.

Why would mainland China do anything? They have complete control over HK and plan on doing what they did in 2014: waiting. In the default case they win and they know it. If everyone in HK knows this too and wants change the protests will continue to grow in size until mainland China has to come to the table. Edit: also proposing that anything other than believing a stretch conspiracy qualifies as “naiveté” is a waste of typing. People will come to their own conclusions, as you clearly have.

Ah yes, the calm and restrained Chinese Communist Party. A party that: - gunned down its own citizens, erased the fact, and continues to harasses the grieving mothers - sends its Muslim population to concentration camps - decimated Chinese society in the mid 20th century - disappears people for crimes like demanding democracy "are being portrayed as the absolute worst people". Boohoo.
