> The protesters took it way too far. Why do you say this? HK is still a nominally free society and protest is their right > China must act. Any nation would act at this point. that's not a given, and why must they act against peaceful protest? Lining up para-military tanks against a civilian population is not something that most nations would do. It's clearly designed to intimidate. > Perhaps still China can find an alternative approach. I hope so. The alternative approach is pretty obvious to any democratic nation

> protest is their right > act against peaceful protest But violent protest is not a right. With Molotov cocktails being thrown around and lasers used to burn the polices' eyes, it's not "peaceful protest" anymore. However, I'd like to point out that the shutdown of the airport is how the protest should look like. People being peaceful, so no one's getting hurt and there's no police showing up.
